As incipient organizations progress from formation to become larger entities, the procedures and rules that provided managerial and structural advantages in having established the organizations and promoting the growth impede the innovation and creativity vital to maintain the competitive advantage. Adopting Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE), large corporations have tried to overcome the dilemma and to sustain the innovation and creativity in order to effectively cope with harsh competitive realities. Recently, some advanced corporations are trying to enhance CE by setting up an internal venture program as a seed organization for CE. By making an in-depth analysis of the internal venture program, 'C-Lab' of Samsung that is promoting CE-related characteristics for enhancing CE, we attempt to shed light on (1) what kinds of environments should be built around the seed organization for CE (2) what are the major characteristics that should be promoted through the seed organization in relation to CE (3) What kinds of achievements can be made from the promoted characteristics (4) How the characteristics are spread over the entire organization. Based on the analysis, we suggest a generalized process in which CE can be enhanced. Since different approaches should be taken for managing the seed organization and spreading the characteristics depending on the strengths and weaknesses of a corporation, there must be the step, 'evaluation of corporate internal capabilities' in the process. We believe that each corporation can enhance CE by taking advantage of the process with reference to the C-Lab case study.

Entrepreneurship is an important factor not only for start-ups, but also for scale-up of businesses. In other words, the two aspects of establishment and growth of businesses must be balanced through entrepreneurship. However, it is true that entrepreneurship has been biased toward the former in previous researches and government policies. Here in this research, the causal relationships between the entrepreneurial characteristics of Korean firms and the performance of the company, which is measured by proposal, activity, and business performance are examined as a growth perspective. Based on these relationships, a model describing the operating mechanism of corporate entrepreneurship is derived and policy implications are provided.

This paper investigates the role of corporate entrepreneurship for enhancing a firm's market orientation and competence. It distinguishes exploitive competence enhancement from explorative competence enhancement. The results reveal that corporate entrepreneurship influences both exploitive competence enhancement and explorative competence enhancement. Interestingly, among the components of market orientation, competitor orientation plays key roles, facilitating interfunctional coordination, and thus increasing exploitive competence enhancement and explorative competence enhancement. However, customer orientation affects only explorative competence enhancement.

세계경제가 저성장 국면에 들어서고 우리나라 기업들의 탈 추격(post-catch up) 전략모색이 요구되는 상황에서 사내기업가정신이 기업의 급진적 혁신을 위한 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 국내에서 사내기업가정신이 기업의 전체 혁신에 미치는 효과는 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 보인다. 사내기업가정신은 기존 기업 내에서 혁신을 통한 새로운 성장동력을 제공하는 기업가적 행동으로, 혁신 프로세스를 내포하고 있다. 따라서 기업 내부에서 사내기업가정신을 확산시키기 위해서는 혁신을 관리하는 관점에서 접근하는 것이 바람직하다. 본고에서는 사내기업가정신 제도의 국내외 운영현황을 분석하고 혁신가치사슬 개념을 적용하여 사내기업가정신 프로세스상 문제점을 진단하고 이를 개선하기 위한 프레임워크를 제시하였다.
