Corporate Entrepreneurship 2.0: Research Development and Future Directions

Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) as a valid and effective area of research has real and tangible benefits for emerging scholars because their work will significantly influence this important strategy. The theoretical and empirical knowledge on CE has evolved over the last forty-five years beginning very slowly and growing in importance through the decades. Despite this evolution and recent expansion in corporate entrepreneurship (CE) research, the theoretical and empirical knowledge about the domain of CE and the entrepreneurial behavior on which it is based are still key issues that warrant a deeper understanding. Ongoing scholarly work has also raised new and important research questions and identified further theoretical avenues requiring exploration. The purpose of this monologue is to organize and review the significant research work that has been done in the corporate entrepreneurship (CE) literature over the years and then suggest some of the potential future directions for CE researchers.
