This is the second of three special issues we have edited on corporate entrepreneurship (CE).In the first issue, most papers focused on the role of CE in the development and acquisition of important organizational capabilities and skills.These papers examined the role CE can play in the development of knowledge and creation of goods and services that build new revenue streams.Papers also discussed ways in which CE can help the firm to develop and enter new markets, exploiting their capabilities and competencies.Collectively, papers in the first issue showed how CE can renew organizations, energize them, and enhance their performance.We have been gratified (indeed, thrilled) by the positive reactions we have received on the first CE issue.These comments have reinforced our belief that this is an area that is ripe for important theory-driven research and for studies that connect CE to other strategic issues senior executives must address in today's dynamic and global economy.Papers that have been chosen for the second and third special issues on CE do just that.These papers tackle complex and important issues and in so doing they open many new research avenues.The authors of these papers have one important thing in common: they have chosen to push the frontiers of our knowledge in ways that, we believe, will have important implications for future research on the theory of the firm, strategic management and the field of entrepreneurship.We hope you share our excitement as you read the four papers included in this issue.The following section describes the focus of the second issue and presents a brief summary of each of its four articles.
