Fostering Local Entrepreneurship in a Multinational Enterprise (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through an examination of three very different entrepreneurial initiatives in the Siemens business unit Fire Safety between 2008 and 2012, the book identifies key drivers and impediments to corporate entrepreneurship in this global organization. It thus offers a rare contribution to our growing - yet still fledgling - understanding of corporate entrepreneurship in global corporations.
