Increasing stakeholder commitment to new initiatives
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings It is becoming increasingly acknowledged that entrepreneurial traits can positively impact business performance. Perhaps US technology pioneer Nolan Bushnell had this in mind when stating that the true entrepreneur does things rather than just dreams about them. Such beliefs are even stronger where new ventures are concerned. Evidence thus far does, however, remain inconclusive. Some observers claim that certain aspects of performance rely more on context and fortune. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
