Abstract: Recently, the research interest in the eld of corporate entrepreneurship is growing. But much isfocus on developing and re ning an instrument, and nding the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship andstrategic management. A research on the internal organizational entrepreneurial environment and its relationship withinnovation is scarce. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between the two. Using analytical survey design in across-sectional time, 150 middle managers were selected in large and middle-sized manufacturing companies in Perak. Thedescriptive analysis showed that all the corporate entrepreneurial variables are above average on a Five Point Likert scalemeasure. The results of the correlation matrix also indicated that there is a positive correlation between the corporateentrepreneurial variables and innovation. About 58.8% of the variance in innovation can be explained by the regressionmodel and that model was statistically signi cant. The results of this study are important for middle managers to ndout how organizational variables could be modi ed to promote innovation.
