Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a highly relevant concept for those leading and working in organisations and not just those starting new ventures. This concept covers technology, creative and social enterprise dimensions and introduces the types and main principles of entrepreneurship. The creation of an entrepreneurial culture is also addressed.
Technique Overview
Entrepreneurship Definition
Entrepreneurship refers to acts of organisational creation, renewal, or innovation that occur within, or independent of, an existing organisation (Sharma and Chrisman, 1999: 17). Entrepreneurial activity that is instigated by individuals acting independently of an existing organisation is known as independent entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial activity that is initiated within the confines of an existing organisation is referred to as intrapreneurship or more recently as corporate entrepreneurship.
