4.3.11.07 The reason that <strong>the</strong> strategic <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> sub-<strong>aliran</strong> does not feature<br />
more strongly in <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong> that I have developed could be due to <strong>the</strong> factor <strong>of</strong> time. While<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are articles that can be considered to be are precursors to this domain, that are listed<br />
in Graphic 4w, seemingly most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> literature on strategic <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> commences<br />
from this centur y and may not have had sufficient time to be cited and gain gravitas. There<br />
is a Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal but it only commenced publication in 2007, as a<br />
sister publication to <strong>the</strong> Strategic Management Journal. As such, it is not included in <strong>the</strong><br />
episteme that dates prior to 2006. However <strong>the</strong> roots and domains <strong>of</strong> strategic<br />
<strong>entrepreneurship</strong> can be found well entrenched in <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong>. Articles and texts on<br />
resources can source back to Wernerfelt [1984] (37), Penrose [1959] (89). Organizational<br />
learning is a common <strong>the</strong>me in <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong> as discussed in section 4.3.8.1. Strategy can<br />
source back to Andrews [1960] (14), Chandler [1962] (32), Mintzberg [1973] (14),<br />
Mintzberg [1979] (18), Rumelt [1974] (14), Porter [1980] (89), Porter [1985] (104), to<br />
name a few high gravitas articles / texts on strategy that feature in <strong>the</strong> <strong>aliran</strong>. It is this<br />
entrenched nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sub-<strong>aliran</strong> that makes it, in my opinion, more <strong>of</strong> a natural fit into<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>discipline</strong> than <strong>the</strong> overt construction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corpo rate <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> s ub-<strong>aliran</strong>.<br />
4.3.11.08 Fitting <strong>the</strong> strategic <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> sub-<strong>aliran</strong> into my heffalump mode l is<br />
not so easy. Hitt, Ireland, Camp and Sexton [2001] comment that <strong>the</strong>re are a number <strong>of</strong><br />
domains in which <strong>the</strong> two <strong>discipline</strong>s share a natural integration. Therefore to assign<br />
strategic <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> to one domain or interstices to one domain is unrealistic. As<br />
shown by <strong>the</strong> circle in Graphic 4x I have depicted strategic <strong>entrepreneurship</strong> as be ing <strong>the</strong><br />
large circle falling into a broader pattern than <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r sub-<strong>aliran</strong> discussed to date. While<br />
this circle does not include innovation, new-ness, etc., at <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heffalump<br />
model, <strong>the</strong> interstices to <strong>the</strong>se remain through <strong>the</strong> links to <strong>the</strong> leader, individual and<br />
organization / firm.<br />
