Entrepreneurship

The entrepreneurship group carries out research throughout the domain of entrepreneurship research, but with a particular focus on corporate entrepreneurship. Current major research projects address issues such as:

• Intrapreneurship in Swedish industry,
• opportunity recognition in large multinational corporations,
• the effects of economic crises on corporate technological renewal,
• how new entrants into the world economy affect the organisation and strategy of today’s well-established multinational corporations,
• the importance of dreaming in entrepreneurship.

Other projects explore boundary change in high technology new ventures, the determinants of the survival of corporate new ventures, how the framing of new projects affects the likelihood of securing external funding on the cultural arena, and the role of new venture units in corporate renewal. During 2018, the group launched the Intrapreneurship Compass, a project aimed at measuring the intrapreneurial climate in Swedish industry.
