Entrepreneurial Culture THE INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION 335 Success in selective opportunism requires an entrepreneurial culture and the willingness to respond quickly to opportunities as they emerge. The people should be entrepreneurial, sensitive to new opportunities and threats, and fast to react. The organization needs to be decentralized, with people empowered to experiment and invest behind emerging opportunities. The culture needs to support empowered managers, new ventures, and change.

The organization will be on the lookout for assets and competencies to leverage and new synergies to nurture.

The firm was paralyzed by a focus on its successful core business and its business model, and the PARC center, away from the organization ’ s East Coast center of gravity, was perceived to be a think tank and was unable to get the attention of the Xerox executives. The firm lacked most of the qualities of an opportunistic organization. External Orientation A selectively opportunistic organization needs to be externally oriented toward the market and surrounding environment rather than being internally oriented.
