Components of Strategic
Entrepreneurship
Opportunity identification - suggested to be an
important source of competitive advantage (Hitt et al.,
2002), which can lead to entrepreneurial opportunity
creation.
Innovation or the ability to innovate - one of the
distinctive competencies of entrepreneurial firms (Kirby,
2003). Sonfield and Luccier (1997) expand on this
concept proposing that the most effective way to position
an entrepreneurial firm is to use risk and innovation.
Risk - referring to perceived environment (Smircich and
Stubbart, 1985). The entrepreneur does not make a
conscious decision to engage in highly risky projects, but
rather their perception of that situation is of moderate
rather than of high risk (Busenitz and Barney, 1997).

Components of Strategic
Entrepreneurship
Flexibility- firms should be able to respond to change
quickly, independent of their current strategy (Eisenhardt
et al., 2000). Flexibility refers to balancing structure with
the freedom to implement and change strategy
(Eisenhardt et al., 2000), which in turn will facilitate quick
response to change (Bhide, 1994).
Vision- Establishing a clear vision and developing
strategy that focuses both on opportunity and advantage
within that vision (Hitt et al., 2001) enhance opportunity
identification
Growth is related not only to innovative and creative
ideas, but also to the structure and strategy to turn such
ideas into profitable ventures resources and dynamic
capabilities appear

Definition of Strategic
Entrepreneurship
Strategy entrepreneurship is the use and/or
stimulation of entrepreneurial activity to
achieve strategic goals, (Kuratko & Audretsch,
2009 cited in Rensburg, 2013).
In addition, strategic entrepreneurship is still
mainly a rather loose amalgam of a number of
insights from strategy and entrepreneurship
(Foss & Lyngsie, 2011, p. 16).
Strategic entrepreneurship describing an
input-process-output model that entails:
organizational resources, individual
knowledge, and skills, and environmental
factors as inputs.
Definition of Strategic
Entrepreneurship
Guth & Ginsberg (1990), they replace strategic
renewal with strategic entrepreneurship
relegating strategic renewal to sub strategy of
strategic entrepreneurship. Moreover,
strategic entrepreneurship can be enacted
within small medium size enterprise as well as
within large established corporations
(Resburg, 2013).
The existences of entrepreneurial behaviour in
large frim is either the result of a deliberate or
an emergent strategy or as Burgelman
(1993b) described it the result of induced
strategy behaviour or autonomous strategy
behaviour.
Strategic Entrepreneurship
Theory
Conclusion
Entrepreneurs do not use strategic planning for
many reasons because:
scarcity of time
lack of knowledge about how to plan
lack of expertise in the planning process,
lack of trust in others.
