Abstract: The study of entrepreneurial activities and behavior in corporations is considered important as it is viewed as a means for sustained corporate competitiveness. This challenge is particularly crucial for technology firms which face dynamic competition due to rapid technological changes. This highlights the need to adopt a suitable strategic orientation which embraces entrepreneurship. However, there appears to be a fragmented understanding as to what constitutes corporate entrepreneurship. This paper therefore attempts to provide clarity to the definition of corporate entrepreneurship by first determining what essentially 'entrepreneurship' is and subsequently contextualizing entrepreneurship in the corporate setting. Based on a clear understanding of corporate entrepreneurship, the paper then conceptually develops a strategic orientation that embodies corporate entrepreneurship applicable to technology firms.
