Abstract: | This paper focuses on the likelihood of firms adopting corporate entrepreneurship in response to the challenges and opportunities
presented by a change in their business environment shaped by the growth of the Internet. We further examined if firms are
willing to modify their existing systems in response to such a change. We also investigated the paths or modes of entrepreneurship
that firms would adopt when they perceive being entrepreneurial to be a viable response in light of a specific change in their
business environment. Finally, we identified the impediments that firms may need to overcome when adopting corporate entrepreneurship.
Results based on the data from senior executives lend support to our hypotheses. Managerial implications of the results are
discussed. |
