Effective innovation is the primary source of sustainable competitive advantage in the twenty-first century. Companies are left with no choice but to innovate well, otherwise they will disappear from the market. Corporate entrepreneurship is a key way to make innovation happen inside established organisations. It is also a vehicle for the innovative opportunities which don’t fit neatly into a company’s core business. Corporate entrepreneurship is a strategic answer to the challenge of organic growth.
This innovation lecture is being delivered as part of the InterTradeIreland All-island Innovation Programme which aims to promote and encourage innovation across the island of Ireland. This Programme is organised by InterTradeIreland, Queen’s University Belfast, NovaUCD and the Centre for Innovation and Structural Change at NUI Galway.
This event forms part of the TCD/UCD Innovation Alliance Programme of Events.
