INNOVATION AND CORPORATE ENTREPRENEURSHIPThe Art and Science of New Business Creation for Ambitious Corporations and Startup Entrepreneurs
KENNETH P. MORSEMARCOS GÓMEZ
OBJECT IVES
The course provides insights into the key aspects of glo-
bal entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, open innovation
and corporate venturing:
• How to organize and leverage the corporate setting to start
and grow new, significant, globally competitive businesses.
• How to use new business development and venturing as a
tool in strategy making processes and corporate transfor-
mations.
• How to collaborate effectively with start-up firms and tech
entrepreneurs.
• How to generate successful (corporate) start-ups in an Open
Innovation setting. Searching for complementarity: the role
of incubators, spin-ins, spin-outs, corporate venture capital
and other partners.
The course addresses critical issues related to growing
new business start-ups:
• Starting the venture: The Team. The Customers. Entrepre-
neurship/Intrapreneurship. Opportunity scouting. Creating
value through technology. The role of intellectual property.
• Marketing, sales, financials: Sales and marketing for intra-
preneurs. Venture capital: corporate venturing, public ven-
turing.
• Setting up a business plan: Elements of the plan. Getting
your message across. The importance of global ambition.
• How to build your team: Stages and evolution of the organi-
zation.
• How to scan the environment for new ideas.
• How to create and recognize new opportunities for innova-
tion.
• How to organize the corporation to optimally embrace,
assimilate, and integrate new technologies and business
ideas.
• How best to work effectively and negotiate deals with tech-
nology providers (small start-ups and research institutes).
What is the role of flexibility and complementary compe-
tences in these negotiations?
• The will to win: the importance of leadership and the team.
• Global ambition means planning global sales from the
start, but how?
The Innovation Imperative: Companies need to achieve strategic growth through both incremental and Radical Innovation in order to survive the tsu-nami of global competition.
Creating new markets, embracing new business models and identifying new customer segments within existing business units is a major challenge. Achieving significant innovation rapidly in tradi-tional corporate environments is a daunting task. Almost all established companies recognize the strategic importance of innovation, intrapreneur-ship, corporate venturing and the creation of new markets. However, many large companies, espe-cially those in Europe, have failed to realize the anticipated growth they need to remain significant and competitive global players.
This course provides participants frameworks for innovation where, through collaboration with a va-riety of partners, new ventures can be created with an improved perspective and faster clock speed, outside their current corporate or start-up environ-ment.
This course conveys the latest concepts of entre-preneurship, intrapreneurship and corporate ven-turing with a focus on new product/new market/new business models combinations including the finance, marketing, sales, technology and human capital frameworks relevant for start-up ventures.
Innovation is introduced as a tool to create a meet-ing ground for corporate environments, university labs and and start-ups where resources, know-ledge and especially new business options can be jointly developed.
This Corporate Entrepreneurship course teaches the fundamentals of Innovation as applied to deve-loping new venture options for global corporations. The participants will develop and refine a new busi-ness case, which will be evaluated during the last day of the course by an objective and demanding team of experts.
The combination of world-class teaching, business case development, and access to networks will strengthen each participant’s new business deve-lopment and venturing capabilities.
SYLLABUS
In this first day, we will examine the strengths and weaknesses of corporate innovation as it is practiced in emerging markets and advanced economies around the world. The traditional model is based upon a logic of internal vertical integration. As we shall discuss, the surrounding innovation environment no longer supports this internal logic, because the knowledge landscape has become too diverse and distributed for any one company to monopolize useful ideas in a given technology area. We will then present new and different models of corporate innovation, including Open Innovation and Corporate Venturing, and show how these models fit better with this more diverse and distributed environment.
