Re-entrepreneuring shows how organizations must re-invigorate entrepreneurial spirit at all levels to create new value and stay ahead in turbulent times.It has long been assumed that, in the development of any organization, the time for entrepreneurial activity is right at the beginning. Once an organization is established, qualities that were virtues in the organization''s start-up and early stages can become vices, and the entrepreneurial founders must cede control to professional managers who can nurture the fruits of their original vision more efficiently.One unintended consequence of this assumption is that large, established organizations tend to be entrepreneur-free zones. Entrepreneurial thinking is tacitly discouraged because it can create novelty, and novelty is a threat to established organizations with large market shares.Re-entrepreneuring argues that organizations must revive the entrepreneurial out-look of their founders in order to survive in today''s market. In an organization that encourages and nurtures an entrepreneurial outlook, everyone has the potential to unleash their inner entrepreneur and bring new and dynamic ways of thinking into their work environment. It has more to do with the ways of thinking encouraged by the organizational culture than by any inherent differences in talent or aptitude.The solution presented in this new book from ROLAND BERGER, edited by Charles-Edouard Bouée and Stefan Schaible, is piecemeal yet targeted ''re-entrepreneuring''. With the help of international case studies and first-hand testimony from business leaders, the authors show how the entrepreneurial approach can be applied to any organization and at all levels, in order to spark innovation, remove operational obstacles and – ultimately – to create new value.
