Guest editorial: Corporate entrepreneurship in a global economy.

This is the second of three special issues editorial staff have edited on corporate entrepreneurship (CE). In the first issue, most papers focused on the role of CE in the development arid 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. They have been gratified by the positive reactions they have received on the first CE issue. These comments have reinforced their 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. The papers included in this issue use different research methods to capture the manifestations of CE in their respective research sites. This methodological polarity is a welcome addition to the field.
