ABSTRACT
Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s influential book When Giants Learn to Dance (1990) described what she calls the “post-entrepreneurial corporation”. Such organizations are held to be appropriate to the fierce competitive conditions prevailing in contemporary international markets. Kanter put forward the view that in order to succeed, Western companies need to act like smaller, more flexible enterprises whose organization and structure has to be agile, intrapreneurial, and innovative; has to be able to do more with the same or fewer resources; and be able to do it in close collaboration with employees, suppliers and distributors as partners.
