Questions
2. What are some of the corporate obstacles that must be overcome to establish a corporate
entrepreneurial environment?
○ Lack of Strong Data
■ New businesses seldom have hard data to back their products or technologies.
This is especially the case if your business is dealing with some high-end product
or technology that isn’t yet being widely used in the market. The challenge here is
to gather information and gain insights into a market that doesn’t yet exist. It is not
enough to depend upon financial forecasts, as that can lead to huge errors in
calculations. This is one of the biggest challenges when you plan to start up a new
business in some cutting-edge field or industry.
○ High Risks
■ No matter what kind of business you may be wanting to start, you will be faced
with a huge amount of risk – even if you are backed up by a strongly established
organization. Starting a new business requires constant innovation and the
development of ideas. Although this may seem exciting, innovation or anything
new and unconventional, for that matter, comes with a huge amount of risk.
