Large corporations are not entrepreneurial, it's not in their nature. They're already throwing government-like money at it.

- natrius 19y agoLarge groups of people aren't good at entrepreneurship. That doesn't mean a large corporation can't give a small group of people autonomy to go off and do their own thing. You don't get all of the benefits of being a startup, but you still get some of them. But yeah, this is definitely going to fail.
- nanijoe 19y agoMicrosoft is a large corporation..Go ask Netscape , Wordperfect ,Lotus 1-2-3 etc whether Microsoft is entrepreneural or not.
- staunch 19y agoI'm not sure those are examples of entrepreneurship as much as ruthless competitiveness. At least one of those defeats was proven to be done illegally. They're all over a decade old. You ask Google, Apple, and Ubuntu whether Microsoft scares them.
- run4yourlives 19y agoI think he was being facetious.
- nanijoe 19y agoI actually was not. Whether or not you approve of MSFT's tactics, you really can't accuse them of not being able to respond to market challenges. Google may not be scared of them, but I would personally rather take my chances against NBC (for example) than go head to head with MSFT.
- run4yourlives 19y agoIn that case I agree with staunch, I don't think we share the same definition of entrepreneurship.
