▼ The primary objective of the study is to determine the level of corporate entrepreneurship within higher level employees at Anglogold Ashanti (Mponeng mine) in order to make recommendations regarding the encouragement of an entrepreneurial climate. A comprehensive literature was conducted. In the literature review entrepreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship and an entrepreneurial climate were defined. The establishment if a climate of corporate entrepreneurship was found to be dependent on the presence of 13 important constructs. If proposed steps are followed to promote corporate entrepreneurship in an organisation, five identified success factors will improve as a result. A historic overview of the gold mining industry including Anglogold Ashanti (Mponeng mine) was given in chapter 3. Part of the Anglogold Ashanti strategy is ?innovation?, wanting to give all employees the opportunity to contribute to improvement by sharing their ideas within the organisation. A questionnaire was adapted to test for the presence of the 13 construct of the climate of corporate entrepreneurship which were identified and to verify current perceptions regarding the organisational success of the organisation among middle managers. Empirical research was conducted which was focusing on discussing the results obtained from the questionnaires. Basic demographic information of the respondents were dealt with first, after which the perceptions of the respondents with regard to the 13 construct measuring the entrepreneurial climate and the constructs measuring the perceived success of the organisation were discussed. Furthermore, the relationships were determined between demographic variables and the constructs measured in the questionnaire. Following the detail analysis of chapter 4, it was concluded that managers participating in the survey regarded the entrepreneurial climate in Anglogold Ashanti (Mponeng mine) as being average. Based on the findings of the empirical research and the insight gained in the literature review, recommendations were made on how to foster an entrepreneurial climate within Angolgold Ashanti (Mponeng mine).

▼ Since the beginnings of venture creation the traditional role of the entrepreneur has evolved from only being the owner of a small business to include those individuals within a large organisation who has entrepreneurial skills and applies these to benefit the company. The focus of this research study was the assessment of corporate entrepreneurship within Sasol Polymers, a division of Sasol Ltd. A comprehensive literature review was conducted in chapter 2. In the literature review entrepreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship and an entrepreneurial climate were defined. The dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship and the 13 constructs measuring the entrepreneurial climate were discussed, after which the constructs measuring the perceived success of the organisation were presented. Chapter 2 concluded by presenting practical suggestions in which an entrepreneurial climate could be established in an organisation. A historic overview of Sasol and Sasol Polymers was then presented. Among others; the history, vision, strategy, technology and innovation was discussed. The chapter concluded with the unique causal factors of Sasol Polymers that prompted this study. Empirical research was conducted after the literature review and background to the organisation. The empirical research focused on discussing the results obtained from the corporate entrepreneurship questionnaire. Top, middle and lower level managers of Sasol Polymers were selected as the sample population for this study and a 50% response rate was achieved. Basic demographic information of the respondents were dealt with first, after which the perceptions of the respondents with regard to the 13 constructs measuring the entrepreneurial climate and the constructs measuring the perceived success of the organisation were discussed. Furthermore, relationships were determined between demographic variables and the constructs measured in the questionnaire. Following the detailed empirical analysis done in chapter 4, it was concluded that managers participating in the survey regarded the constructs vision and strategic intent, strong customer orientation and entrepreneurial leadership as the most prevalent in Sasol Polymers. The least prevalent constructs required for an entrepreneurial climate were resource availability and accessibility, tolerance for risk, mistakes and failure and sponsors/champions. No practical significant difference could be found between the mean values of any of the demographical categories and the constructs measured in the questionnaire. The study concludes with practical recommendation, a measurement of the achievement of objectives and suggestions for future research.

▼ The background in which global organisations operate in at present is very competitive. In an ever faster growing global economy the role of the entrepreneur within the large organisation becomes more and more important to ensure the company keeps the competitive edge. The Linde Group is a world class company with a world class management strategy and systems to support the strategy. Part of the The Linde Group management strategy is being a high performing organisation, wanting to give all employees the opportunity to contribute to improvement by sharing their ideas with the company. This study was done at African Oxygen Limited, South Africa, a regional business unit in Africa for The Linde Group. African Oxygen Limited embarked on various programmes to create opportunities for employees to think in an entrepreneurial way. Middle managers at African Oxygen Limited play an important role in the innovation programs implemented at African Oxygen Limited. Against this background, this study seeks to confirm whether African Oxygen Limited, South Africa has a true entrepreneurial climate and whether the middle management level involved with these initiatives share this perception. Corporate entrepreneurship is characterised by people who are innovative, creative, spend time and take risks. To support these entrepreneurial activities, the organisation needs a climate and culture that is beneficial to these activities. An entrepreneurial orientation within an organisation is marked by dimensions such as innovativeness, pro–activeness, risk–taking, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy. The entrepreneurial behaviour among middle level managers is most critical to the effective implementation of corporate entrepreneurship. The primary objective of this study was to assess the entrepreneurial climate in African Oxygen Limited and to make recommendations to foster corporate entrepreneurship within the organisation. The literature review was instrumental to gather secondary data on corporate entrepreneurship and to understand its dynamics. In order to gain primary data, quantitative research was carried out. The study population comprised lower and middle management, who were requested to complete questionnaires. This was followed by statistical analysis. The empirical results indicate no practical significance in respondents' perception based on the gender of the respondents. However, the results do indicate practical significant differences between the relationship between the groups of middle and lower management level with respect to entrepreneurial climate and the perceived organisational success. An evaluation of the corporate entrepreneurial climate in the organisation was performed and the average mean for the study calculated. Seven out of 13 constructs evaluated had a mean above the average mean of x = 3.502, the other six constructs evaluated had a mean ranked lower than the average mean. All of the constructs still had a mean above three out of five. All four of the used…

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The research set out to prove that subsidiary entrepreneurial culture in a postacquisition environment is different from entrepreneurial culture in an independently owned company. Whereas independently owned companies focus on their own successes and failures, acquired companies are constantly required to take into consideration the parameters and objectives set by headquarters. Little is known about what occurs within the subsidiary post-acquisition, and how managerial structures and processes either stimulate or hinder the entrepreneurial culture, which is an aspect often neglected during the acquisition process. This study aims to address the uncertainty regarding which key characteristics constitute subsidiary entrepreneurial culture in a post-acquisition environment, and aims to expand the currently inadequate body of knowledge on subsidiary entrepreneurial culture. Based on the theoretical frameworks of intrapreneurship, multinational subsidiary entrepreneurship and international entrepreneurship, an interview guide was developed and used as the primary research instrument. Data was collected by means of semistructured interviews and data analysis was conducted using ATLAS.ti. The qualitative, exploratory nature of the study necessitated a case study research design, which was based on a non-probability sample of five subsidiaries competing in the private-label food and beverage industry. Findings suggest that the components of subsidiary entrepreneurial culture in a postacquisition environment are: new businesses and ventures, product innovativeness, process innovativeness, self-renewal, risk-taking, proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness and subsidiary autonomy. Furthermore, entrepreneurial culture is enhanced by a subsidiary-driven locus of control and through headquarters’ support in the form of financial stability, structure and a future-oriented approach for long-term success. A framework of subsidiary entrepreneurial culture was developed with the aim of providing managers with an outline of the relevant determinants that can enhance subsidiary entrepreneurship. Managers should take note that although the locus of control may vary within each subsidiary, granting the subsidiary decision-making autonomy and the autonomy to manipulate its entrepreneurial orientation are key to nurturing the pre-established entrepreneurial culture. Future research agendas could incorporate perspectives from both the subsidiary and the headquarters. Analysis can also be done regarding the extent to which disruptive entrepreneurial culture may be diminished before it impacts negatively on business performance.

▼ Comprehensive research has been done on organisational behaviour, entrepreneurial spirit, entrepreneur, entrepreneurship and corporate entrepreneurship. Literature is however less clear on which organisational behaviour components influence corporate entrepreneurship. This creates a problem for managers and business leaders when they want to influence the entrepreneurial spirit within an organisation. This study summaries the literature on organisational behaviour variables and corporate entrepreneurship, as well as the limited findings linking the two concepts. The empirical study focuses four areas: testing validity and reliability of the measurements used in the study; the correlation between organisational behaviour components and corporate entrepreneurship; the ability of organisational behaviour components to predict corporate entrepreneurship; and finally testing if the grouping of organisational behaviour variables is justified. This cross sectional study was done in 12 non-listed and 5 listed companies in South Africa. Randomly selected employees completed 862 questionnaires. They represented all the local ethnic groups, both genders, and were from all organisational levels. The results of the empirical study indicated that the measurements used in the study were all acceptable being reliable and valid. The correlation between the selected organisational behaviour components and corporate entrepreneurship were all strong and significant, with goal setting the strongest, followed by performance management, then transformational leadership, and communication. The correlation with shared decision making, organisational culture, and power were less strong but still significant. The organisational behaviour components together declare a 46.5% variance in corporate entrepreneurship with organisational culture and goal setting contributing significantly and uniquely. Grouping the organisational behaviour variables in individual level, group level and organisational level, as suggested by many authors, did not provide a satisfactory solution. Suggestions to managers on where to focus when they want to foster corporate entrepreneurship were made. The limitations as well as suggestions for future research were discussed in the final instance. Advisors/Committee Members: Steyn, Renier (advisor).

The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the contingencies that alter the link between entrepreneurial orientation (“EO”; a strategic posture characterized by behaviors and attitudes that display innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) and firm outcomes. While conceptual claims unite on the belief that firms largely benefit from emphasizing innovation through proactive and risky initiatives, the empirical findings on a positive link between EO and performance are inconclusive. As such, several scholars have explored the contingencies that illuminate the boundary conditions to EO, however, most of this research has focused on external contingencies, i.e. those connected to the environment, while internal contingencies, i.e. those connected to the firm, have been fairly disregarded. Not only will the industry and market play a significant role in a firm’s ability to effectively carry out their desired strategic initiatives, so too will firm characteristics, such as communication and culture, as these internal factors are directly related to the level of value created from strategic actions. Therefore, this dissertation is an attempt to further clarify the boundary conditions of EO by focusing on these firm specific attributes. Chapter two, titled “Family communication patterns and entrepreneurial orientation in family firms” exposes the impact of specific family communication patterns on the performance outcomes from an entrepreneurial orientation. This chapter contributes to the corporate entrepreneurship literature, by confining the positive effects of EO to certain firm specific characteristic, as well as to the family business literature by further demonstrating the heterogeneity between family firms. Thereafter, chapter three, titled “Entrepreneurial orientation, organizational culture, and firm performance: The importance of a balanced approach”, argues and tests the importance of organizational culture, as defined by the competing values framework, as a contingency variable of the EO-performance relationship. This empirical chapter exploits a configurational approach, using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (“fs/QCA”) to analyze the arrangements of different entrepreneurial orientation and organizational cultures that yield superior performance. Through this exploration, I advance research on the EO-performance relationship by integrating the firm’s corporate culture as a means of alleviating concerns with resistance by certain stakeholders to the ambiguity associated with entrepreneurial ventures.

▼ This research dissertation presents a study which increases the understanding of how corporate firms in Botswana can develop and enhance entrepreneurial innovations and encourage entrepreneurial activity within their organisational boundaries. By so doing such organisations create an entrepreneurial oriented firm where pursuit for innovating opportunities thrive, thereby increasing their competitiveness as well as performance. This study aims to determine how such organisations culture a dynamic link between the pursuit of innovation and the essence of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) Orientation as a conduit to building the entrepreneurial organisation. Existing studies carried out in the area of entrepreneurship in Botswana mirror on the areas of financing entrepreneurial firms and types of ownership. A search conducted on internet sources, University of Botswana data base as well as literature journals revealed no evidence of CE studies in Botswana. Therefore, there exists a literature gap in the area of CE studies on Botswana which this study seeks to bridge. Models established by studies in the area of CE elsewhere are used instrumentally in this study. The study addresses the research problem by examining how existing firms in Botswana represent the concept of an entrepreneurial organisation within the sphere of corporate entrepreneurship. The intention is to identify and seek the knowledge, attitude and belief of the individual’s potential as corporate entrepreneurs, their ability to be innovative and how such innovation is brought to fruition in such settings. The study adopted a cross sectional, formal study approach using primary data sources. It targeted a sample of 100 individuals operating within the sample frame of a corporate organisation in Botswana which employs over 100 employees. A research instrument in form of a questionnaire was used to obtain data. Simple random sampling was employed. The resulting data set was analysed and presented by means of descriptive and quantitative statistics using SAS package software of the University of Pretoria. The study proves the inextricable link between CE orientation and the pursuit of innovation as a conduit to enhancing entrepreneurial activities in companies in Botswana. The findings however show that the level of innovation is affected by the perception of the innovation process comprising opportunity identification, generation and exploitation. The findings of the study helps large corporate companies in Botswana to appreciate and develop entrepreneurial organisations. In such organisations, Corporate Entrepreneurial Orientations are an essential base which leads to the pursuit of innovation within corporate borders. In essence, the corporate entrepreneurial activity inherent within corporate borders raises immunity against complacency and bureaucracy. It affords the organisation the impetus for coping with a variety of simulated strategies and options in the competitive arena in which the organisation finds itself.

▼ Established companies have collaborated with startups for decades in order to enhance their capabilities in technology and innovation. However, in the recent years, the changes in the business environment have induced established companies to increase their collaboration with startups. Thus, startup activities of established companies have become a timely phenomenon. This study explores the startup activities of established companies by analyzing all the activity established companies conduct in collaboration with startups, related to startups and as startups. The aims of this study are to explore how, why and how extensively established companies engage in their startup activities. The theoretical background of this study is based on the previous discussions of corporate entrepreneurship. Corporate entrepreneurship describes various entrepreneurial phenomena appearing in corporations. It includes corporate venturing and strategic endeavors of entrepreneurial actions. The concept is broad and ambiguous, but scholars value its heterogeneity. A theoretical framework of the purposes and forms of corporate entrepreneurship is presented. The empirical research is based on a qualitative study. Eleven Finnish companies from varied industries provide the empirical research subject. The data is collected by semi-structured interviews, observation in events and by using secondary data sources, such as non-academic reports and company communications. The analysis method is content analysis. The findings suggest that the reasons to engage in startup activity vary from strict business goals to reputational and social purposes. Based on the empirical materials, established companies can be categorized into four categories in terms of their engagement in startup activities. The categories are: no startup activity, opportunists, special know-how exploiters and strategic exploiters. The main empirical findings also include the favorable aspects towards startup activity: keeping up with the changes of the business environment, developing the business, developing the organization, repute advantages, and social responsibility, as well as the negative aspects: encountering and finding the startups, risky partners, financial matters, the effect of industry, cultural challenges, and the impact of management guidelines. In conclusion, the study suggests that startup activities of established companies are one manifestation form of corporate entrepreneurship. Thus, corporate entrepreneurship can be conducted through startup activities. The studied companies mostly associate their activities to practical matters. They conceive different features of types of corporate entrepreneurship, but they do not plan their startup activities in the way the theory defines.

▼ Corporate entrepreneurship has gained renewed interested in research since global markets are evolving and industries become more and more competitive. Information is transferred across the globe rapidly so that products and processes can be copied quickly. In order to be competitive, companies need to enhance creativity, their technological knowledge and market know-how. This high competitiveness leads to a dilemma where innovation is a key to survive whilst the size and administration may signify barriers to replicate entrepreneurial behavior through the entire business. Considering the relevance of corporate entrepreneurship in the rapidly changing market of the 21^st century, our purpose was to develop a deeper understanding of how corporate entrepreneurship can be used by companies. We then looked deeper into the subject of organizational transformation and decided to do a case study. The aim of the research was to make a theoretical contribution by examining the subject in the context of a medium-sized enterprise in a specific environment where corporate entrepreneurship is vital. Therefore, we chose a medium-sized German company that operates in the increasingly complex and competitive process automation industry. The Gefeba Elektro GmbH was found to be an interesting case for a case study for several reasons. The company was situated in a highly competitive market, in the heart of the industrial ‘Rurhgebiet’, with numerous competitors. However, and despite the lack of resources faced by this SME, Gefeba is an important actor in the automation industry. Although researchers have examined various factors that promote corporate entrepreneurship, the literature has focused on defining factors in isolation without linking them to architectural factors, especially when it comes to SMEs. These factors are defined in our study as leadership, culture, structure and strategy. Acting within the extremes of small businesses and large corporations, we focus our study on a single medium-sized company that enables us to reach different levels of the organization and grasp a holistic understanding of this specific organization in relation to its use of CE. In accordance to this, the main research question is: How does Gefeba Elektro GmbH use corporate entrepreneurship in the automation sector industry? The study was conducted using a qualitative research method. One of the major findings is that the Gefeba Elektro GmbH is using a balance between the organizational antecedents of common values and flexibility to build a mechanism that aligns the organizational architecture towards the development of corporate entrepreneurship. Another aspect is the fact that every architectural factor is used for the development of CE, even if some architectural factors such as leadership and culture seem to have more importance in this development. Thereby, the findings about organizational antecedents and architectural factors are relevant for the managerial…

▼ Increasingly, developed countries' markets, which are usually characterized by wealthy customers, are getting saturated. This has necessitated that multinational corporations (MNCs) seek new solutions for their future growth and profitability. One of the markets that has attracted the attention of MNCs is the bottom of the economic pyramid (BOP), which comprises four billion people. However, reaching this market, characterized as having a low income of less than $2 a day, is not easily achievable. Corporations have to revisit their prior business models and develop winwin solutions that serve the needs of the poor and create profits. To conceptualize the market-based initiatives of MNCs at the BOP, this research employs the concept of corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE). CSE is defined in this research as the process of innovatively identifying and exploiting social opportunities in large and established organizations with the aim of creating economic and social value. The research questions that this dissertation seeks to answer are concerned with exploring the antecedents and outcomes of CSE. First, built upon three related strands of literature―social entrepreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility―this research attempts to provide a preliminary understanding of the potential antecedents and outcomes of CSE. Then, by employing multiple qualitative and exploratory case studies, CSE and its antecedents and outcomes are empirically investigated in eight multinational companies in India. The research identifies demand conditions and stakeholder expectations as the environmental factors that predict CSE. Three organizational characteristics―management support, a network orientation towards social sector organizations, and the availability of financial resources―are also found to be determining factors. The outcomes are identified associal value creation, long-term profitability and legitimacy. These antecedents and outcomes are theoretically explained and supported by contingency theory, the contingent resource-based view and stakeholder theory.

▼ Increasingly, developed countries' markets, which are usually characterized by wealthy customers, are getting saturated. This has necessitated that multinational corporations (MNCs) seek new solutions for their future growth and profitability. One of the markets that has attracted the attention of MNCs is the bottom of the economic pyramid (BOP), which comprises four billion people. However, reaching this market, characterized as having a low income of less than $2 a day, is not easily achievable. Corporations have to revisit their prior business models and develop winwin solutions that serve the needs of the poor and create profits. To conceptualize the market-based initiatives of MNCs at the BOP, this research employs the concept of corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE). CSE is defined in this research as the process of innovatively identifying and exploiting social opportunities in large and established organizations with the aim of creating economic and social value. The research questions that this dissertation seeks to answer are concerned with exploring the antecedents and outcomes of CSE. First, built upon three related strands of literature - social entrepreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility - this research attempts to provide a preliminary understanding of the potential antecedents and outcomes of CSE. Then, by employing multiple qualitative and exploratory case studies, CSE and its antecedents and outcomes are empirically investigated in eight multinational companies in India. The research identifies demand conditions and stakeholder expectations as the environmental factors that predict CSE. Three organizational characteristics - management support, a network orientation towards social sector organizations, and the availability of financial resources - are also found to be determining factors. The outcomes are identified associal value creation, long-term profitability and legitimacy. These antecedents and outcomes are theoretically explained and supported by contingency theory, the contingent resource-based view and stakeholder theory.

▼ Corporate entrepreneurship is the process by which organisations create value through introduction of new products, services or processes to ensure competitive advantage. Whilst entrepreneurship is such an important subject and crucial for organisational performance, most market systems development (MSD) organisations have not adopted an entrepreneurial posture in their quest to transform market systems to work better for the poor. The MSD programmes rely largely on the technical skills of staff within the Project Facilitation Unit (PFU) of development organisations. The objective of this study was to explore and understand the role and impact of corporate entrepreneurship in MSD organisations. The study was conducted at AgroBiz, in Mozambique. AgroBiz had a total of 20 employees (the population). Since the population size was small, a census survey technique was adopted for the quantitative study, followed by a snow ball volunteer sampling technique for the qualitative part of the study. The survey was conducted online using Google Forms and the qualitative study was undertaken using telephonic structured interviews. Data analysis was computed using Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the results were presented in the form of charts, tables and figures. The qualitative part of the study was analysed using the Grounded theory method. It was found that the organisation had a mechanistic structure, characterised by bureaucracy and rigid decision-making control. Even though the level of entrepreneurship was 10 out of 15, other strategic factors such as resource (or capital) availability, leadership and management support and decision-making control were found to be the main barriers to entrepreneurial behaviours. It was recommended that the leadership ought to focus on addressing key variables that prohibit entrepreneurship. Future research should identify the key skills that are required by leadership to effectively develop an entrepreneurial team. There is also an opportunity for academics to identify whether the business model of MSD organisations influences how entrepreneurial the individual employees can be. Lastly, there is need to explore the Hoselitz’s theory further to understand the role of the individual’s socio-economic class on entrepreneurial behaviour.

▼ Since the early 1990s entrepreneurship education has experienced a significant interest and growth in South Africa, due to the fact that it plays a very important part in the success of businesses, whether it is a new or an existing business venture. Corporate entrepreneurship can be defined as the development of new ideas and opportunities within a large organisation and is characterized by individuals who are energetic, creative, innovative, self-confident and take calculated risks. When looking at the entrepreneurial orientation variables, Autonomy, Innovativeness, Risk-taking, Pro-Activeness and Competitive aggressiveness in any organisation, they require an acceptable climate to ensure that each dimension prosper. The line, middle and senior managers play an important role in entrepreneurial actions, whether it is part of creating the climate or driving the process once initiated. Entrepreneurial success factors such as creativity, innovation, risk orientation, leadership, good human relations, a positive attitude and perseverance, are all attributes of successful entrepreneurs. The primary research focus of this study has been to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial orientation variables (Autonomy, Innovativeness, Risk-taking, Pro- Activeness and Competitive aggressiveness) on the perceived success in a personal protective equipment organisation in South Africa. For the purpose of this study, the business success has been measured by means of two dependent variables namely Business growth and Business development and improvement. An empirical study has been conducted by using a questionnaire that measured five dimensions regarding entrepreneurial orientation. Data from 42 participants have been collected and analysed, and the results indicate that the organisation have certain aspects of entrepreneurial orientation present. The results show that the managers in the personal protective equipment business perceived that the entrepreneurial orientation variable Innovativeness have a positive influence on their Business Growth. An important relationship between the independent variable Innovativeness and the dependent variable Business development and improvement has been found to exist. Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation are more than just vibrant words in the industry; they play important roles in the survival and growth of organisations. It is also crucial to understand that the correct climate needs to be fostered within the organisation to ensure that all the various aspects of corporate entrepreneurship are achieved. The organisation will reap greater benefits that could contribute to the business staying the leader in the industry, being more competitive, creating new ventures, and introducing new products and services. The area of significant concern for the organisation is a low or poor tolerance for risktaking. Practical recommendations, suggestions and an action plan are presented in order to improve the entrepreneurial climate of the…

▼ This study explored the practices of commercial volunteer tourism operators in order to determine their perspectives on the role certification may play as a strategy for socially responsible volunteer tourism. It was guided by two objectives: 1) To determine the current perceptions of volunteer tourism stakeholders regarding social responsibility in the volunteer tourism sector, 2) To consider additional measures (e.g., certification) as tools to enhance socially responsible tourism practices. The study was conducted in two phases. Research during phase one provided a background understanding of the issues related to the volunteer tourism sector. I specifically sought to understand issues surrounding the social responsibility of operators within the sector and methods that could possibly be utilized to improve the sector, such as certification. This was achieved through an assessment of the perceptions of key informants within the volunteer tourism sector, which were gathered through semi-structured interviews. Phase two involved case study analysis, whereby the practices of two large commercial volunteer tourism organizations, Projects Abroad and ME to WE, were examined. Data for phase two were gathered through semi-structured interviews conducted with key players (employees) within the organizations, as well as each organization’s website and publication materials. Cross-case analysis of data gathered from both organizations revealed two major themes: (1) operating towards making a difference and (2) creating social responsibility within the volunteer tourism sector. Combining the results of phase one (background understanding of the volunteer tourism sector and certification) and phase two (analysis of the practices of two volunteer tourism organizations) allowed for the development of an in-depth understanding of the role social responsibility plays within the volunteer tourism sector. This study has shown that the operations of volunteer tourism organizations are an important component of the tensions present within the sector. This study has revealed the perspectives of volunteer tourism operators and other stakeholders within the sector, a cohort whose perspectives have not been studied in much depth in past research Furthermore, it identifies the opportunity and need to better align volunteer tourism operators with more socially responsibility within the sector. This study has illustrated that the socially responsible practices that are implemented at an operational level could aid in understanding the actual contribution that an organization will make within the sector. The majority of the participants from phase one and phase two of this research identify that they would subscribe to a certification as a responsible tourism implementation strategy. Finally, it is proposed that a new approach and definition for volunteer tourism should be considered within the literature: Socially Responsible Volunteer Tourism.

▼ Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit ist die Notwendigkeit der Entwicklung etablierter Unternehmen, die insbesondere durch externe Veränderungen forciert werden kann. In diesem Kontext werden als potentielle Basis des zukünftigen Wachstums Innovationen als zentral angesehen. Dafür wird zunächst die betriebswirtschaftliche Grundlage, orientiert an den einzelnen Bestandteilen des Titels der Arbeit, dargestellt. Zwecks Innovationserlangung werden sodann die Möglichkeiten der internen (Corporate Entrepreneurship) als auch der externen (Mergers & Acquisitions) Entwicklung betrachtet. Als unbedingt notwendig für die Auswahl neuen Geschäfts wird die strategische Analyse der Mikro- und Makroumwelt zugrunde gelegt. Thema der Arbeit ist sodann, die juristischen Einwirkungsmöglichkeiten der unterschiedlichen Einflussgruppen aus dieser Analyse in Bezug auf die jeweilige Handlungsoption zu untersuchen. Als Wesentlich werden dabei Mitarbeiter, der Staat, Wettbewerber und Kunden erkannt. Im Bereich des Corporate Entrepreneurships wird vor allem der Fokus auf die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Rechts des geistigen Eigentums sowie auf sein Verhältnis zum Arbeitsrecht und diesbezügliche Probleme (Innovationsschaffung), aber auch auf das Recht des unlauteren Wettbewerbs sowie auf Fragen der Fehler- und Mangelhaftung in Bezug auf innovative Produkte gelegt. Für Mergers & Acquisitions sind insbesondere Risiken und Hürden des Wettbewerbs- und Ge-sellschaftsrechts, jedoch auch des Arbeitsrechts und der allgemeinen Haftung nach bürgerlichem und Handelsrecht im Rahmen der Singular- und Universalsukzession relevant. Sodann lassen sich aus dieser rechtlichen Analyse drei in Bezug auf ihre Struktur, nicht aber auf ihren Inhalt, optionsindifferente Faktoren identifizieren, die sich durch die Begriffe Innovation, Finanzen und Zeit ausdrücken. Diese Faktoren weisen ferner Relevanz im strategischen Kontext auf, sodass sich hier eine bedeutende Schnittstelle offenbart, die es zu systematisieren gilt. Zwecks weiterer Konkretisierung lassen sich, ebenso unabhängig von der internen oder externen Entwicklungsoption, diese Faktoren in jeweils drei weitere Subfaktoren unterteilen. Ergebnis der Arbeit ist schlussendlich die strukturierte Darstellung der einzelnen Faktoren sowie ihres Zusammenspiels, indem ein generisches Framework hergeleitet wird, das bei der Beurteilung der geplanten Unternehmensentwicklung einbezogen werden kann. Ebenso werden Lösungsmöglichkeiten de lege ferenda (insbesondere das Gesetz über Arbeitnehmerschöpfungen) in Bezug auf die identifizierten Problemstellungen entwickelt und vorgestellt. Advisors/Committee Members: Kreße, Bernhard (advisor), Engelen, Andreas (referee).

▼ “[A]s much as any other product, the car has shaped not only the global economy but how billions of people live”1,whilethe digital area is nowshapingthe car.Coopetition, a strategy presenting firms with the opportunity to collaborate and compete at the same time,is becoming a prevalent phenomenonamong large OEMs and start-ups in the automotive industry.Respectively, considering that coopetition, in the context of open innovation and new technologies, has been identified as a successful strategy, this thesis will therefore analyse the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups in the context of coopetition and corporate open innovation strategies. Several typesof corporate incubators, accelerators and corporate innovation labs emerged within the last years, howeveran integration of all three of these has not yet been widely explored. Accordingly, while these open innovation streamsare used by large corporationsto get access to the start-upecosystemand increase their innovation capabilities, the relationship between OEMs and external start-ups will further lead to CIIAs (a combined approach of corporate incubators, corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerators),demonstratedin the context of coopetition. This exploratory study therebycontributes to the relationship between external start-ups and OEMsthrough aCIIA approach,answering the two following researchquestions;•What are the main drivers of the OEM and external start-uprelationship?•How do OEMs and external start-ups coopete in the context of corporate open innovation strategies?To dulyanswer these research questions, we choseaqualitative researchmethodcombined with an interpretivist and inductiveapproachas well asempirical findings generated from 6semi-structured interviews. We furthercontributed tothe illustrationof the key aspects of CIIAsas well asthe motives, management and implications behind the relationshipsbetween OEMs and external start-upsbyaconceptual framework. Our analysishence showsthe significanceof the access to complementary resources, the co-creation and co-development of value as well as the systematic implementation of a proof of conceptin the light of thesecoopetitive relationshipsbetween CIIAs and external start-ups.However, consideringthat thisresearch has been based on the German automotive industry only, it will require further research in other contexts, sectors or countries. To conclude, thisthesis contributes tothe management literature ofcoopetition, corporate innovation and entrepreneurship. We proposeda finalframeworkto highlightthekey motives, the management and the implications behind thecoopetitive relationshipsbetween OEMsand external start-upsthrough the CIIA platform.This willexpectedly help managers and entrepreneurs develop efficientmanagement techniques as well asfurther recognize and understand the influential dynamicspresent in these relationships

Le corporate entrepreneurship (CE) est un processus entrepreneurial qui implique un ou plusieurs individus – les corporate entrepreneurs - mené avec ou au sein d’une organisation existante, dans le but de susciter le renouvellement ou l’innovation au sein de celle-ci. Peu d’études traitent des impacts au niveau individuel des processus de CE. C’est pourquoi, dans un souci d’amélioration de la performance organisationnelle des entreprises, nous nous sommes posés la question suivante : Quels sont les impacts d’une expérience de CE, menée au sein de grandes entreprises françaises (Insee, 2019), sur les dimensions du bien-être au travail (Biétry et Creusier, 2013) des corporate entrepreneurs ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons mobilisé la recherche qualitative et ses méthodes en interrogeant 70 corporate entrepreneurs et en analysant 15 dispositifs de CE issus de 12 grandes entreprises françaises. Les résultats montrent que le bien-être au travail des corporate entrepreneurs est impacté différemment selon le contexte dans lequel ils se trouvent, mais également en fonction de deux facteurs modérateurs, qui sont (1) le management des dispositifs de CE et (2) les caractéristiques intrinsèques des corporate entrepreneurs. Enfin, ce travail de recherche a également permis de mettre en exergue (3) la difficulté pour les corporate entrepreneurs internes à réintégrer l’organisation après cette expérience. Or, la gestion de la sortie des processus de CE revêt des enjeux majeurs pour l’organisation. L’approche originale de ce travail de thèse, qui emprunte des théories et concepts issus du champ de la psychologie pour nourrir les connaissances en sciences de gestion, permet de répondre à la problématique de recherche posée et ouvre également de nombreuses pistes de recherche en sciences de gestion et, en particulier, en gestion des ressources humaines.

Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is an entrepreneurial process that involves one or more individuals – corporate entrepreneurs – working with or within an existing organisation, with the aim of generating inner renewal or innovation. Few studies deal with the impacts of CE processes at the individual level. In order to improve organisational performance, we asked the following question : What are the impacts of a CE experience, conducted within large French firms (Insee, 2019), on the dimensions of corporate entrepreneurs’ occupational well-being (Biétry et Creusier, 2013)? To answer this research question, we have conducted qualitative research and its methods. We interviewed 70 corporate entrepreneurs and analysed 15 CE devices into 12 large French firms. The results show that corporate entrepreneurs’ occupational well-being is impacted differently depending on the context in which they are involved, but also according to two moderating factors, which are (1) the management of CE devices and (2) the intrinsic characteristics of corporate entrepreneurs. Then, this research work has also highlighted (3) the difficulty for internal corporate entrepreneurs to reintegrate…
