Challenges of corporate entrepreneurshipFahad Abbasi
Corporate entrepreneurship refers to companies engaging in internal diversification through developing new business ventures. This allows companies to gain stability from existing business lines while pursuing innovation through new ventures. However, balancing the needs of established and new business units within a company is challenging. Corporations often fail because responsibilities are too diffuse or the new ventures become too separated from the parent company. To succeed, companies must develop strategic exploration of opportunities, rely on customer feedback, use prototypes, set non-financial milestones, and integrate new ventures with autonomy at the right time. IBM's model of using "mature turks" to lead new ventures and separate but aligned review processes is provided as a successful example.
