The Vital Entrepreneurial Learning Organization: A Corporate Mindset for Entrepreneurial Change Management

Abstract

A globally competitive technology business environment requires a dual perspective for entrepreneurial change management to secure long-term and short-term vitality in mature organizations. Entrepreneurial organizations should shape the environment-organization relation and pursue entrepreneurial activities in new businesses and in existing businesses to integrate e±ciency, innovation and adaptation. The presented concept of a vital entrepreneurial learning organization describes a systematic theoretical framework for¯rm-level entrepreneurship in dynamic environments. The theoretical constructs developed on theoretical exploration are: nine design elements of holistic intrapreneurship, three entrepreneurial tasks and process model, role model for the entrepreneurial organization, conceptual framework of the business environment, qualitative systems model for entrepreneurial change management, and¯ve organizational learning elements. These theoretical building blocks provide new insights into the nature of holistic intrapreneurship.

Regional Cooperation in a Thriving Entrepreneurial Economy: A Holistic View on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development

“…Entrepreneurial organizations identify and pursue opportunities in interaction with specific regional networks. Consequently, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, and adaptability determine the viability of the thriving entrepreneurial learning organization (Platzek et al, 2014).

Aprendizagem Empreendedora: conhecendo o passado e vislumbrando o futuro

“…Assim, enfatizam-se trabalhos de Jason Cope que aparece na lista de autores com a maior quantidade de publicações sobre a temática, e que principalmente com alguns colaboradores possui outros artigos desenvolvidos para eventos (COPE; HAMILTON, 2005;PITTAWAY, 2005;CAVE;ECCLES, 2008). Também foi identificado um trabalho de David Rae (RAE, 2006), entre outros estudos de autores diversos (MURPHY, 1993;YOUNG;SEXTON, 1997;WINZKER, 2014;JÄMINKI, 2016). Existem referências na literatura nacional não citadas, com destaque para a dissertação de José Luis Gonçalves , que resultou em um dos artigos que apareceu na pesquisa (MINELLO; SCHERER; RAMOS, 2015) e o artigo de Moraes e Hoeltgebaum (2003) apresentado no Third International Conference of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management, que é considerado por Zampier e Takahashi (2014, p. 5) como sendo o primeiro "modelo para investigação e análise do processo de aprendizagem empreendedora".…”

Towards Technology and Entrepreneurship: A Perspective With Cyclic Conditions

“…It thus seems to be appropriate to use elements of new business creation as proxy for entrepreneurship. There are many definitions to be found for entrepreneurship in the literature (Lazear, 2005;Klein, 2008;Platzek et al, 2014). For the purpose of this paper the focus in entrepreneurship will be on technology, innovation, market, strategic, new business employment creation and system issues related to the entrepreneurial mindset.…”
