Special Issue on: "Corporate Entrepreneurship"

Guest Editors:
Sascha Alexander Peters, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany
Erik Monsen, Max Planck Institute of Economics, Germany

This special issue focuses on entrepreneurial initiatives beginning 
inside existing organisations, ranging from entrepreneurial acts of 
individual employees to strategic renewal of the entire organisation. 
Corporate entrepreneurship has been defined as “the process whereby an 
individual or group of individuals, in association with an existing 
organisation, create a new organisation or instigate renewal or 
innovation within that organisation” (Sharma & Chrisman, 1999). In 
general, these processes and actions need to be proactive, innovative, 
and involve risk-taking in order to be considered entrepreneurial 
(Miller, 1983). The goals of these actions can be long-term 
“organisational development” and “cultural change”, mid-term “strategic 
benefits” and “real-option development”, and short-term “quick financial 
returns” (Miles & Covin, 2002). We expect our understanding of corporate 
entrepreneurship to evolve through the new concepts developed in this 
special issue.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* History and evolution of corporate entrepreneurship
* Organisational structure and design
* Entrepreneurial growth and performance
* Entrepreneurial experimentation
* Corporate creativity
* Motivating intrapreneurship
* Staffing new corporate ventures
* Corporate venture capital
* Corporate venturing
* Strategic alliances and joint ventures
* Intra- and exopreneurship
* Strategic entrepreneurship
* Strategic renewal
* International corporate entrepreneurship
