Is Strategic Entrepreneurship a Pleonasm?

Deryck J van Rensburg

Journal of Management and Strategy, 2013, vol. 4, issue 1, 15-27

Abstract: A plethora of terms have been used to describe the notion of entrepreneurial and innovative orientation and action within organizations. While ¡®corporate¡¯ and ¡®entrepreneurship¡¯ coupled together in one term can be viewed as antithetical by some, is the arrival of its newer cousin ¡®strategic entrepreneurship¡¯ essentially the same notion? Irrespective of how opinions and logic may pivot on this debate, strategic entrepreneurship nevertheless seems to have some of the markings of an admittance-seeking social movement. Although ecumenicism is not the goal here, the purpose of this paper is to untangle possible confusion caused by the recent introduction of the term ¡®strategic entrepreneurship¡¯.
