“…Moreover, corporate entrepreneurship has been emphasized as the key for emerging economy firms to revitalize, reconfigure resources, and transform into market-orientated firms that are ready to compete in the global economy (Jumpponen et al 2008;Zahra et al 2000). Thus far, there has not been much work on corporate entrepreneurship in transition economies and emerging markets, as contrasted to entrepreneurship studies at the individual level (Zahra et al 2000). Recognizing that entrepreneurial actions are the bedrock of entrepreneurial processes and behavior for both large and small firms, and that these behaviors may be critical to the long term vitality of an economy (Stevenson 1983), it is important to facilitate the empirical study of them in an under researched, emerging market environment.…”

Abstract. Recent years have seen considerable work at the interface between business, management, entrepreneurship and strategy and as a result, new research domains have appeared including corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial strategy. The purpose of this article is to understand the effect that corporate entrepreneurship strategy has on firms to revitalize, reconfigure resources and transform into firms that are ready to compete in the global economy. Empirical tests are conducted to determine to what extent elements of pro-entrepreneurship architecture are able to predict development capability, strategic repositioning, and growth based outcomes. A first-phase survey is conducted to verify the presence and strength of entrepreneurial orientation while the second phase of the study identifies elements of organizational architecture able to predict firm outcomes. The main contribution of this article is that firms resourcing and rewarding policies, as well as cultural and structural orientations, derived from a corporate entrepreneurship strategy, play a significant role in realizing desired outcomes. The study has important implications for emerging economies where growth is often the primary goal of organizations, and where corporate entrepreneurship can be critical for firm profitability and survival.

“…Entrepreneurship liberalizes the economy, promotes foreign investment, infuses new technology, and increases the standards of living (Zahra, Ireland, Gutierrez and Hitt, 2000). Moreover, profitably operated new business ventures buffer taxpayers from the high operating costs of inefficient government-managed enterprises (Ozkaya and Askari, 1999).…”

The current neoclassical synthesis of economic theory does not contain a role for the entrepreneur and entrepreneurial activity. In this paper we argue that such a role can be reintroduced into the economic foundations of strategy by adopting a subjectivist theory of entrepreneurship. A subjectivist theory focuses on individuals (subjects), on their knowledge, capabilities, and resources, and on the processes of discovery and creativity that constitute the heart of entrepreneurship. To begin the development of a subjectivist theory of entrepreneurship within the context of dynamic resource−based theory, we examine the thought of Edith Penrose (1959) to suggest strategic issues that invite closer examination, and we then conclude with suggested directions for further research.

“…Governments of emerging economies normally seek loans from these organizations to support economic development. As a precondition to loans, the trans-national institutions require the emerging economies to introduce substantial economic liberalisation policies (Hoque & Hopper, 1994;Zahra et al, 2000;Uddin & Hopper, 2001). …”
