Abstract
In the preceding chapters, we have studied the creation of new businesses as independent startups. However, we recognize that many well-established and large companies do, in fact, engage in entrepreneurial activity. Corporate entre¬preneurship (CE) may be broadly viewed as (1) the creation of new businesses within existing organizations, either through internal innovation or joint ventures and alli¬ances, or (2) the transformation of organizations through strategic renewal. Large firms embark on CE for various reasons (why) and using various approaches (how), which we will now explore in more detail.
