Socialization of technopreneurism: towards symbiosis in corporate innovation and technology strategy

摘要

Among the major fast developing Asean countries, Singapore is the first to recently launch a national, social movement to promote innovation through nurturing technology-based entrepreneurs. This is anticipated by the first author (Foo, C.T., Hall, K., 1997. Productivity innovation as a social movement: the case of Singapore. International Journal of Human Resource Management 8(5), 720-742), who had argued for a greater need for Singapore to launch a Creativity and Innovation Movement than Productivity Mnvement. This paper reports an emerging social movement of innovation through cultivating technopreneur in Singapore and argues for large, publicly listed corporations to integrate the socialization of technopreneurism as part of corporate innovation and technology strategy.
