Field of study: Corporate Entrepreneurship.
Aim: Understand micro-foundations of the phenomenon.
Theoretical lense: Effectuation & causation.
Research design: Empirical / experimental.
Corporate Entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as a pathway to make existing competitive advantage more sustainable. However, currently practice and research lack an understanding of the individual cognitions, attitudes, beliefs, motivations and behaviors that are drivers for entrepreneurial processes in established organizations. Hence, the overall aim of the dissertation is to develop this understanding of the behavioral micro-foundations of corporate entrepreneurship by examining the essential causes and effects of corporate effectuation and causation in a way that allows deriving theoretical as well as managerial implications.
