Das Lehrbuch bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die unternehmerischen Gestaltung des Management in etablierten Unternehmen (Corporate Entrepreneurship).

Junge Unternehmen zeichnen sich typischerweise durch einen ausgepragten Unternehmergeist aus gerade dieser erlaubt den jungen Unternehmen oft schnelles Wachstum. Ist aus dem jungen, kleinen Unternehmen ein grosses geworden, so hat dieses haufig durch notwendige Hierarchiebildungen, Formalisierungen und Burokratisierungen seinen Unternehmergeist verloren. Gerade deshalb verfolgen viele grosse etablierte Unternehmen Ansatze, in verschiedensten Formen wieder Unternehmertum in ihren Strukturen zu verankern. Als Vorreiter gilt beispielsweise die Firma 3M, die es unter anderem ihren Mitarbeitern in der Entwicklung erlaubt, einen signifikanten Teil ihrer Arbeitszeit in eigene Ideen losgelost voneigentlich laufenden Projekten zu investieren.

Sowohl die Struktur wie auch die inhaltliche Gestaltung des Lehrbuchs sind auf die Anforderungen als Lehrmaterial abgestimmt. Durch kurze Fallbeispiele aus der Praxis, die innerhalb der Kapitel geschildert werden, sowie ausfuhrliche Case Studies als Bestandteil der Ubungen am Ende jedes Kapitels wird aktuelle Forschung mit relevanten Erfahrungen aus der Praxis kombiniert und somit fur Studierende interessant und verstandlich vermittelt.
