Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) seems as an insurance against environmental dynamics to let the organization grow by seeking opportunities. The main purpose of this study is to offer a conceptual framework evaluating how the individual level opportunity recognition links to firm-level integration and institutionalization of knowledge bases. This study proposes a conceptualization of CE as a learning process to develop new Dynamic Capabilities (DC) that enables firms to reinvent themselves through innovative ideas. Dynamic capabilities contribute to the managerial cognition to explore new entrepreneurial opportunities; however, no former research has investigated the development of DC through CE process. Building from our analysis of the mechanisms through which the corporate entrepreneurship could influence the development of dynamic capabilities, we apply a multiple case study design to address the research gap. To investigate the research question, four case studies have been selected, through which we examine: a) the association of managerial cognition, as the knowledge foundation of opportunity exploration, to capability development; b) the mechanism of corporate entrepreneurship learning process through discovery, engagement, and transformation; c) the reasons behind ignorance of some entrepreneurial opportunities; and d) the effect of capability development on the corporate entrepreneurship outcomes. We conclude that dynamic capabilities are most beneficial for entrepreneurs to make drastic change by moving further away from sense-making of opportunities to institutionalization of new capabilities. However, our proposed conceptual framework is general and needs to address the deeper interdependencies and complexities. As a result, the proposed framework calls for empirical astuteness and further theoretical development. Derived from two interrelated fields of corporate entrepreneurship and dynamic capability, this study contributes with a novel model addressing how managerial cognition links to entrepreneurial outcomes. By adopting organizational learning view, the proposed framework seeks to capture corporate entrepreneurship as a dynamic ongoing process.

作为学习过程的企业创业：新能力的发展

企业创业（CE）似乎是一种对抗环境动态的保险，让组织通过寻找机会而成长。本研究的主要目的是提供一个概念框架来评估个人层面的机会识别如何与公司层面的整合和知识库的制度化联系起来。本研究提出将 CE 概念化为一种学习过程，以开发新的动态能力 (DC)，使公司能够通过创新理念重塑自己。动态能力有助于管理认知探索新的创业机会；然而，以前没有研究通过 CE 工艺研究过 DC 的发展。基于我们对企业创业影响动态能力发展的机制的分析，我们应用多案例研究设计来解决研究差距。为了调查研究问题，我们选择了四个案例研究，通过这些案例研究：a）作为机会探索的知识基础的管理认知与能力发展的关联；b) 通过发现、参与和转化的企业创业学习过程的机制；c) 忽视一些创业机会的原因；d) 能力发展对企业创业成果的影响。我们得出的结论是，动态能力最有利于企业家通过进一步远离对机会的意义创造而将新能力制度化来进行剧烈变革。然而，我们提出的概念框架是通用的，需要解决更深层次的相互依赖性和复杂性。因此，所提出的框架需要经验的敏锐性和进一步的理论发展。源自企业创业和动态能力这两个相互关联的领域，这项研究提供了一个新模型，该模型解决了管理认知如何与创业成果联系起来。通过采用组织学习的观点，所提出的框架旨在将企业创业视为一个动态的持续过程。
