What is entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship involves a process
Entrepreneurs create value where there was none before
Entrepreneurs put resources together in a unique way
Entrepreneurship is opportunity-driven behavior
Entrepreneurship is the process of creating value by bringing together a unique combination
of resources to exploit an opportunity
Entrepreneurial context is never defined; thus, entrepreneurship can occur in:
Start-up ventures
Small firms
Mid-sized companies
Large conglomerates
Non-profit organizations
Public sector agencies
Management is the process of setting objectives and coordinating resources, including
people, in order to attain them.
Managers focus more on the current situation and how to improve efficiency and
effectiveness.
, Entrepreneurs focus less on the current situation and more on what can be.
Corporate entrepreneurship = a term used to describe entrepreneurial behavior inside
established mid-sized and large organizations

Corporate venturing
Corporate entrepreneurs face three major challenges linked to the need for inter-
organizational political skills:
1. Achieving credibility or legitimacy for the concept and the entrepreneurial team
2. Obtaining resources
3. Overcoming inertia and resistance
Corporate entrepreneurs remain in the corporate environment rather than starting their
own ventures for three main reasons:
The size of the resource base that they can tap into
The potential to operate on a fairly significant scope and scale fairly quickly
The security they enjoy when operating in an existing company
Organizational politics is one of the main reasons corporate entrepreneurs leave the
company.
Seven ways in which entrepreneurship is manifested in established companies
1. Traditional R&D
2. Ad Hoc Venture teams
3. New venture divisions or groups
4. Champions and the mainstream thought
5. Acquisitions
6. Outsourcing
7. Hybrid forms
