Program:

• Christine Blanka (Institute for Entrepreneurship): Rejuvenating corporates: Approaches for entrepreneurial initiatives:

Corporates are conflicted by the perceived need to innovate while honoring established structures and processes. Approaches focusing on entrepreneurial initiatives within established enterprises help to resolve the tensions of exploration and exploitation. Therefore not only management-induces activities but a combination with employee-driven initiatives fosters strategic renewal. A holistic view of entrepreneurship within corporates, combining various ways to be entrepreneurial as an enterprise, offers avenues to reestablish an enterprise’s entrepreneurial spirit and competitive advantage.

• Elisabeth Arnold (Head of new business incubator) und Jürgen Straßl (Head of new business sales & acceleration):, opens an external URL in a new window Turning off-core ideas into new business within a corporate incubator     

The new business incubator was launched within the voestalpine Steel Division to offer an environment in which new business ideas outside our current core business can be created. The approach of companies for hatching and developing new business outside their core business is solved differently. The answer of voestalpine is its new business incubator, which we also call the nbi. Would you like to know more about the nbi?
