“…We also contend that many previous studies of intrapreneurship/corporate entrepreneurship (Pinchot, 1985;Burgelman, 1983), public sector entrepreneurship (Morris & Jones, 1999;Moon, 1999) as well as institutional entrepreneurship (de Holan & Phillips, 2002;Yang 2004;Lawrence & Phillips, 2004) focus on entrepreneurs active in the upper echelons of private companies. Thus, with regard to entrepreneurial processes on the middle or lower hierarchial levels in public organisation, there is much to learn.…”

The notion that there is strong connection between the private sector and entrepreneurship has resulted in entrepreneurship in the public sector being neglected. This in turn leads to theoretical, practical and political shortcomings. The role of entrepreneurs as change agents is captured in the concept 'institutional entrepreneurs', but most studies focus on actors on the higher levels. This article sheds light on previously forgotten or ignored entrepreneurial processes; those taking place within the middle levels of the public sector, and which result in institutional change. We elaborate on the characteristics of the entrepreneurial processes and their prerequisites. The framework draws on the tension between entrepreneurship and the institutional context, and suggests a multi-level approach, drawing on insights from both entrepreneurship studies and new institutional theory. The cases highlight the importance of being able to create alliances and find sponsors to ensure freedom of action and grant legitimacy. The enabling and constraining aspects of the institutional context are illustrated and discussed.

“…Para Morris e Kuratko (2002), é algo que abrange desde a promoção de novas ideias nas tarefas ao desenvolvimento de novos serviços. Kim (2010) De acordo com Moon (1999), a hierarquia é um fator que promove a morosidade dos processos que inicia desde a demora nas comunicações até a inibição para adotar ideias inovadoras. Portanto, muitos níveis hierárquicos nas organizações públicas podem diminuir a implementação de práticas empreendedoras.…”

Resumo: O empreendedorismo durante muito tempo esteve atrelado ao setor privado como uma característica inerente e exclusiva das organizações desta esfera. No entanto, a Administração Pública nos últimos anos também tem apostado na introdução do empreendedorismo no seu setor. Definido em termos de tomada de decisão, inovação e proatividade, a literatura aponta o empreendedorismo público como uma ação capaz de melhorar a alocação dos recursos, mas que precisa de um ambiente organizacional favorável ao seu desenvolvimento. Diante disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a relação entre as características organizacionaisestruturais, administrativas, culturais e ambientais, com o empreendedorismo público compreendendo como elas podem influenciar essas ações. Para tanto, foi conduzida uma pesquisa em uma Prefeitura Municipal localizada na região sudeste de Minas Gerais. Tal pesquisa se destaca como exploratória, de natureza mista na qual foi utilizada a triangulação de instrumentos para a coleta de dados. Os resultados mostram que as características estudadas de fato influenciam o empreendedorismo público existindo relação positiva para a presença dos fatores hierarquia, formalidade, flexibilidade, autonomia, recompensas, especialização, accountability, multiplicidade de objetivos, orientação para os resultados, responsabilidade legal e para a competição e relação negativa para a presença dos fatores participação e influência política.

“…Thus, in current times of uncertainty, complexity, and resource scarcity, health care organizations rely on their managers to redefine their roles to enable their organizations to gain the competitive edge. The use of process-based managerial entrepreneurship (Moon 1999) refers to the improvements in administrative procedures, intraorganizational communications, and introrganizational interactions. In other words, flexible decision-making processes, open channels of communication and simplification of work processes in organizational innovations are more readily used and have become more important to health care organizations.…”
