Corporate Entrepreneurship Dimensions and Corporate Market Share of Selected Food and Beverages Manufacturing Companies

The growth of the food and beverage manufacturing sector in Nigeria is hampered by the lack of adoption of corporate entrepreneurship and lack of business innovation, resulting in limited organizational progress among food and beverage companies. This study investigates the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and market share in selected food and beverage manufacturing companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study uses a survey research design, explicitly targeting six leading food and beverage companies in Nigeria that collectively dominate 93% of the industry's overall market share. The overall population consisted of 2,786 employees, and the sample size of 642 was determined using the Cochran formula and multi-stage sampling techniques. Data collection uses a questionnaire. The data analysis process includes the use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The research results show a strong correlation between business innovation, internal business environment, resource utilization, organizational flexibility, proactiveness, risk-taking, and company market share in the selected companies. This research determines that the entrepreneurial dimension of the company has a positive and significant influence on the company's market share. This study suggests that senior managers should proactively engage elements of corporate entrepreneurship to stimulate creative concepts for new and improved products, processes, applications, and services that align with market needs and improve overall performance.

Correlation Between Corporate Entrepreneurship and Organizational Performance in Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria

Research on Corporate Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries: A Review and Agenda for Future Directions

Abstract The majority of research on corporate entrepreneurship focuses on developed countries and overlooks that various cultural and economic contexts may lead to different intensities and behaviors in entrepreneurial activities. This omission could challenge extant theoretical models and assumptions. Accordingly, this article intends to analyze the literature on corporate entrepreneurship in developing countries. The paper adopts a two-step research approach, a systematic literature review, and a bibliometric (co-word analysis) analysis of 85 articles published between 1999 and 2021. We identify the major articles, journals, and scholars that made significant contributions to the field within the context by summarizing and describing indicators, such as number of publications, citations, theoretical and methodological perspectives, topic trends, and thematic maps. Analysis enables the study to establish that research on corporate entrepreneurship in developing countries comprises three major thematic classifications, namely, determinants and effects of corporate entrepreneurship; determinants of intrapreneurship and performance, and dynamic capabilities and corporate entrepreneurship. In summary, this article contributes to an enhanced understanding of the concepts and dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship within developing countries. In addition, it provides a research agenda; hence, we propose future directions that shape the dynamics of the field and that provide relevant insights for researchers and managers interested in corporate entrepreneurship in the context of developing countries.

Analysis Corporate Entrepreneurship in SOEs at Mining Sector with Private Companies as Comparative Study

Competition between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and private mining companies are getting bigger and stronger, but state-owned holding companies such as MIND ID have decreased performance due to several factors such as business focus and small business scale. This should be supported by the optimization of resources and the transformation of the competence of each employee to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit. This study was conducted to examine the corporate entrepreneurship culture in three state owned mining companies (PT. ABC, PT. DEF, and PT. GHI) and compared with private mining companies (PT. XYZ, PT. OPS, and PT. RTU). This study uses two methods, Entrepreneurial Orientation Survey (EOS) and Entrepreneurial Leadership Questionnaire (ELQ). EOS is used to measure corporate entrepreneurship culture and ELQ to see entrepreneurial characteristics in expected leadership and actual conditions of its implementation. EOS results show that the corporate entrepreneurship culture of mining SOEs has advantages in Cross-Functionality and Support to New Ideas while private mining companies have significantly higher Speed and Focus dimensions than mining SOEs. The ELQ results show that mining SOEs have the type of leadership in entrepreneurship (Miner type) and the leadership type of private mining companies in Explorer has a higher score than mining SOEs. Mining SOEs are advised to increase the dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship, one of which is by providing scholarships for employees taking magister program and creating a competition program that supports future innovation also the companies should provide training on corporate entrepreneurship.

Firing on all cylinders: Configuring information technology around the constituents of corporate entrepreneurship to outperform in SME sector.

This study has examined how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may enhance their performance under different settings of information technology (IT) capabilities and corporate entrepreneurship (CE). Established on the dynamic capability view, the researchers have analyzed the connections between IT capabilities and CE, in addition to the performance results of SMEs. The research has explored these novel relationships by utilizing partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with a data sample of 447 SMEs of the manufacturing sector in Pakistan. The findings present that IT capabilities positively influence the market and financial performance of SMEs through the mediating role of CE dimensions. The study uniquely determines the mediating role of dimensional effects of corporate entrepreneurship between IT capabilities and performance outcomes of firms. Thus, the study would enable the management of SMEs to realize the potential of IT-related CE dimensions and their use to improve firms’ performance.

Disentangling the corporate entrepreneurship construct: conceptualizing through co-words

This study defines the conceptual structure of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) by looking at the terms scholars have used over the last 26 years of research. With the use of a co-word analysis, five distinctive dimensions of CE and the evolution of related key terms are identified: sustained regeneration, competitive advantage, external entrepreneurship, organizational rejuvenation, and domain redefinition. Over time scholars’ attention has shifted from strategy to entrepreneurship by highlighting the relevance of the terms ‘intrapreneurship’ and ‘entrepreneurial orientation’. Surprisingly, concepts related to strategic entrepreneurship and strategic renewal are less relevant than expected. Besides laying the ground for a shared conceptualization of CE, this study highlights how bibliomeitrics can contribute to decreasing conceptual ambiguity in emergent research fields, such as entrepreneurship. Implications for managers on how to strategically create and develop CE within different organizational settings are also discussed.

Corporate entrepreneurship and market performance

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a firm’s entrepreneurial proclivity on market performance for large, publicly traded US firms. This study draws upon the five-dimensional view of corporate entrepreneurship (CE) and develops hypotheses aimed at understanding the effects of direct effect of CE cues of proactiveness, autonomy, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness and risk-taking on stock performance during earnings conference calls.Design/methodology/approachThe entrepreneurial orientation of 339 firm post-earnings announcement conference calls is analyzed through a content analysis of transcripts, and the impact of CE cues on stock price is measured using event-study methodology.FindingsThe results suggest that the cueing the CE dimensions of innovativeness, risk-taking and especially autonomy have a positive effect on market performance during conference calls, while competitive aggressiveness has a negative effect. No effect was found for proactiveness.Research limitations/implicationsThe effect of entrepreneurial proclivity on firm value is not uniform. Not all dimensions of CE have a positive effect on market performance at a corporate level, and measuring each dimension of CE separately may be a valuable approach for future research.Practical implicationsFirms may create more value when they cue specific entrepreneurial attributes, and cueing competitive aggressiveness may not be desirable.Originality/valueThis study fills a gap in the literature by measuring the direct effect of CE cues on market performance through an innovative research design which relies on computer-aided text analysis.

Encouraging organizational performance through the influence of technological distinctive competencies on components of corporate entrepreneurship

Firms’ technological distinctive competencies (TDCs) help CEOs to confront their reality based on technological knowledge to achieve and exploit competitive advantage by encouraging the different dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship (innovation, new business venturing, proactiveness and self-renewal). The main purpose of this paper is thus to highlight how companies that strive to improve technological competencies within the firm achieve higher organizational performance through different components of corporate entrepreneurship and their interrelationships. This study seeks to fill this research gap by analyzing theoretically and empirically how TDCs enhance innovation, new business venturing and proactiveness and their interrelationships to achieve self-renewal and thus improve firms’ organizational performance. The methodology used is LISREL analysis. We test the model with data from 201 Spanish organizations. Our research contributes theoretical and empirical arguments on the value of TDCs to the organization, arguments that are especially important because organizations sometimes fail to achieve sustainable competitive advantage due to their limited understanding of the relationships between these strategic variables.

The role of organizational size in the heterogeneous nature of corporate entrepreneurship

Organizational size is an important factor contributing to the heterogeneous nature of corporate entrepreneurship (CE). We focus on explicating size-based differences in CE and integrating them into new theoretical development. Through a search of the contemporary CE literature, we argue that there has been a tendency toward examining CE dimensions within the context of large public firms, even though they represent a relatively small proportion of the firms that engage in CE activities. Drawing on resource-based theorizing, we identify how size confers CE competitive advantages via slack resources and resource structuring processes, but disadvantages via bureaucratic structures and resource bundling. Aware of these weaknesses, we suggest that small firms are more likely to utilize CE for growth to overcome liabilities of smallness, while large firms are more likely to utilize CE for learning to overcome liabilities of inertia. We thereby provide greater specificity to CE research and stimulate new theoretical development with a forward-looking CE research agenda that incorporates the role of organizational size.

Linking Human Resources Practices to Corporate Entrepreneurship: The Mediating Role of Perceived Organizational Support

The purpose of this study was to develop a mediation model in which high-performance human resource practices affect corporate entrepreneurship through perceived organizational support. In accordance with this purpose, firstly, the interrelationships between specific human resources practices (selective staffing, extensive training, internal mobility, employment security, clear job description, result-oriented appraisal, incentive reward, and participation) and corporate entrepreneurship dimensions (new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal, proactiveness) were examined. Then, based on social exchange theory, the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between human resources practices and corporate entrepreneurship was investigated. Data was collected through a survey, in which 258 medium and large scaled firms operating in different industries in Turkey participated. The results provide empirical evidence for the strong impact of human resources practices on corporate entrepreneurship, and this relationship is mediated by perceived organizational support of employees.
