Open Lecture with Maribel Guerrero
BEROC arranged the open lecture with Prof. Maribel Guerrero "Corporate entrepreneurship and higher education organisations" on August 1, 2019.
About lecture:
The phenomenon of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) has evolved over the last five decades. In the 1970s was understood as the entrepreneurial activities developed by teams inside existing organisations. Later, in the 1980s was associated with the entrepreneurial behaviour inside established organisations. Afterwards, in the 1990s was focused on the organisational capability for developing innovations and new ventures. In the 21st century was linked to the efforts to establish sustainable competitive advantages.
In this regard, this lecture had three purposes. The first one was to discuss through these decades: which type of conditions has determined the development of entrepreneurial activities inside organisations? which tools/strategies have been associated with successful cases of corporate entrepreneurship? which outcomes have generated the implementation of the entrepreneurial orientations inside organisations? The second one was to exemplify how the phenomenon of corporate entrepreneurship may be implemented inside higher education organisations. The third one is to provoke discussion about the entrepreneurial orientation of the participants' organisations.
