Entrepreneurship & Innovation (quote)

Voor ons boek over de grootste misverstanden in innovatieland ben ik behoorlijk wat literatuur aan het doornemen. Zo ook het boek Coroprate Entrepreneurship & Innovation van de heren Michael Morris, Donald Kuratko en Jeffrey Covin (2e editie). Ik kwam daarin de volgende zinsneden tegen (pagina 34 en 35):

” Entrepreneurship is not a quick fix or an operational experiment in companies. In fact, the company that is not interested in developing and tapping into the entrepreneurial potential of its employees has effectively signed its own death warrant – the question is only one of whether it we be a quick demise of a slow, lingering decline.”

” Employees in companies should think of themselves as entrepreneurs. The should not think of themselves as somewhat like entrepreneurs. ”

Ja, die Amerikanen kunnen het mooi zeggen.
