"Corporate entrepreneurship and innovation will be the next big thing for the next 10 years" - Steve Blank

Steve Blank recently said,

Corporate entrepreneurship and innovation will be the next big thing for the next 10 years, and the business school that sets up a program for that will be printing money from executive education and gradating a cadre of MBAs who will be snapped up by large companies that are desperate to reintroduce innovation inside their corporations.

Are any business schools making strides in corporate innovation? Corporate innovation is something that’s coming down the pipe. But I haven’t seen a business school that has understood that this is a big idea. The first couple that do will own the space. It’s wide open. We’re going to have a great time in the next five to 10 years.
This is a huge opportunity and unmet need – business schools haven’t pivoted yet. Now they’re getting the startup innovation courses right, but corporate innovation is a lot more complicated, and the startup techniques and classes don’t apply. There has been very little literature and research on the subject. 

I find this affirming because Blank has been ahead of the curve for probably a decade and the fact that he's seeing the need to make corporations more entrepreneurial aligns with the ideas I've been advocating for decades.

I think that the popularization of entrepreneurship is going to transform the corporation because so many of us are employees now. We couldn't leave knowledge work to autodidacts last century and we can't leave entrepreneurship to the innovative few outside of corporations in this.

Some people are beginning to understand that entrepreneurship will lead development now the way that capital did in the 19th century or the way that knowledge work did in the last. I'm still not hearing much about how that will transform business, but if people aren't talking about that, they still don't fully understand what we're facing. Popularizing entrepreneurship within the corporation will transform it as much as mutual funds and credit cards transformed finance and as much as democracy transformed the nation-state.
