This form of entrepreneurship is particularly popular among highly educated professionals in the high-technology and R&D sectors. With the goal of improving our understanding and defining a research agenda for this phenomenon, I examined the relevant literature to clarify definitions and I undertook a research study to examine first-hand, through a longitudinal case study, the experiences of two hybrid entrepreneurs, one who intended to become a full-time entrepreneur and one who wish to be hybrid entrepreneur. The key result of the study emphasizes that hybrid entrepreneurs should not be considered as a homogeneous group: some hybrid entrepreneurs may always stay at their waged jobs and others may tend to become full-time entrepreneurs. The results have implications for policy makers wishing to encourage hybrid entrepreneurship and for researchers wishing to undertake further research into this phenomenon. 10adefinitions10ahybrid entrepreneurs10ahybrid entrepreneurship10arisk taking10aself-employment1 aSolesvik, Marina, Z.  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/106302721nas a2200301   4500008004100000022001400041245006500055210006500120260004200185300001000227490000600237520183900243653001302082653003102095653002402126653002502150653001702175653003002192653003202222653001902254653002102273653001802294653001602312653001902328100001802347700001802365856003602383       2014                        eng d  a1927-032100aEnabling Employee Entrepreneurship in Large Technology Firms0 aEnabling Employee Entrepreneurship in Large Technology Firms  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2014  a23-320 v43 aManagers of development projects in large technology firms face a dilemma. They operate under pressure to achieve predictable quality, cost, and schedule objectives but are also expected to encourage their employees to act entrepreneurially. Given the uncertain nature of the entrepreneurial process, these managers often cling to existing practices and values and consequently inhibit their employees’ ability to act entrepreneurially.

In this article, we examine the product development and entrepreneurship literature streams to identify the barriers that managers of development projects of large technology firms face in allowing employees to act entrepreneurially. We organize these barriers using the five components of entrepreneurial orientation: risk taking, proactiveness, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy. Then, building on the literature and our combined 40 years of experience managing development projects in large technology firms, we provide recommendations to managers on how to overcome these barriers. 

A better understanding of how to enable employees to act entrepreneurially will increase the entrepreneurial orientation of development projects in large technology firms. The relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and development project performance is expected to be curvilinear. Therefore, an increase in entrepreneurial orientation is expected to improve the performance of development projects up to a point after which it is expected to decrease it. 

This article will be particularly relevant to researchers interested in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and project performance as well as managers in technology firms who want to achieve their operational milestones while maximizing the entrepreneurial value creation of their employees.10aautonomy10acompetitive aggressiveness10acorporate venturing10adevelopment projects10aemancipation10aemployee entrepreneurship10aentrepreneurial orientation10ainnovativeness10aintrapraneurship10aproactiveness10arisk taking10avalue creation1 aMiron, Walter1 aHudson, David  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/766
