Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management
Select a company you believe to be an example of a corporate entrepreneurship success story or failure. Using the Innovation Audit of Tidd & Bessant (2011), conduct an evaluation of the corporate entrepreneurship performance of this company over the last 5 years (approx 2000 words). Within this section you should:

– If the firm is multi national or multi divisional, justify a focus upon one country and / or division.
– Explain the CE strategy of the firm and how this has responded historically to threats and opportunities.
