“…Moreover, it will develop high-risk projects, showing aggressive behavior in the search for opportunities, being proactive, and taking the initiative in front of opportunities before its competitors (Miller, 2011).

Corporate entrepreneurship creates opportunities in employment, technological advances, value creation, and cultural transformation for entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurs, governments, economies, and society around the globe. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of corporate entrepreneurship on the financial performance of subsidiaries in Colombian business groups under the moderating effect of the environmental dynamism, because the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and financial performance in emerging economies must differ from developed economies. Using a cross-sectional structural equation modeling analysis, this study assessed the impact of entrepreneurial orientation and corporate venturing on the firm financial performance of 87 subsidiaries of Colombian business groups at different levels of environmental dynamism. This study also confirms that the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and performance is context-dependent and that entrepreneurial orientation has a strong and positive causal relationship with corporate venturing. Additionally, subsidiaries of Colombian business groups increase their financial performance when also does the entrepreneurial orientation, and decrease financial performance when so does corporate venturing. Furthermore, the results show that environmental dynamism does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship of subsidiaries in Colombian business groups and their performance. This paper would contribute to important areas in Latin America business, where such studies are scarce.

“…Namely, involvement, empowering employees, job autonomy, and appropriate reward system allow employees to produce innovative ideas and pursue innovation opportunities which strengthen firms’ long-term strategic performance ( Adeyeye et al, 2015 ). Academic interests in intrapreneurship increase over the last decade with a diverse focus ( Chan et al, 2017 ; Alam et al, 2020b ). Intrapreneurship in practice, however, is not as wide-spread as expected.…”

Cultivation of Intrapreneurship: A Framework and Challenges

Intrapreneurship has drawn research attention over the past decades considering its crucial role in innovation, organizational performance, and employee career planning. Intrapreneurial research based on various concepts also emerges. In spite of the increasing concern in the field, contributions in the field are fragmented. Particularly, intrapreneurship research is still lacking an integrated framework based on which, enablers and important facilitating mechanisms can be identified to enhance intrapreneurship. To close the above research gap, the study develops a holistic intrapreneurial framework. Specifically, the study first examines intrapreneurship in relation to other prominent concepts (i.e., innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability). This study then identifies enablers of intrapreneurship at both individual and organizational level. Notably, extant research largely examines intrapreneurship either at the organizational or individual level, and concentrates in corporate entrepreneurship or individual intrapreneurial employees. Research providing a holistic perspective on enablers for intrapreneurship is rare. The study further integrates these intrapreneurial enablers with facilitating mechanisms and proposes a framework of intrapreneurship. The framework makes it possible to clearly identify pivotal antecedents to intrapreneurship based on various theoretical lenses and analytical levels applied. Finally, the study addresses a list of managerial and technological challenges arising from the above framework and suggests future research agenda.

“…9770/jesi.2021.8.4(13) Intrapreneurship has a wide scope that can be approached from different perspectives. Thus, you can start from a current company or product to get a new one; make use of the organization's research and development assets and advantages to achieve innovation in new products, services, technologies or processes; the identification of new opportunities to improve the competitive advantage of the company, among others (Alam et al, 2020) According to Kantis and Drucaroff (2009), corporate entrepreneurship is not only limited to internal ventures or corporate venture capital, but also includes organizational renewal and intrapreneurship, instilling a business perspective in employees, particularly behavior aligned with speed and flexibility in actions. Kantis and Drucaroff (2009) emphasize that both individual and corporate entrepreneurship create something new.…”

This article aims to demonstrate a broad and complex relationship between entrepreneurship, including the entrepreneur, with the regional and organizational context in which it operates, for which a theoretical review of the context and entrepreneurial competencies was addressed. In this regard, a qualitative research was carried out with the phenomenological method that allowed an exhaustive review of the most relevant literature, books, and articles on the phenomenon. As a result, different theoretical proposals were analyzed, ranging from absolute relevance to the topic to those that highlight contextual elements such as education. Thus, the importance of the regional and organizational context, the behavior and competencies of the individual, the education of the individual, among other aspects of interest, were addressed.
