Introduction
Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) is the process
by which individuals inside organizations pursue
opportunities without regard to the resources they
currently control.
Bootstrapping is the art of promoting and
developing a business by harnessing one’s own
resources – without reliance on outside help
What is Jugaad ??
Resource Flexibility
Economies of Scope
These sprout from economies from sharing given –
often tangible assets
This entails mere extension or stretch of any of the
various resources in isolation, and thus offer a quite
static interpretation of synergy
Corporate Coherence
Corporate capacity to generate and exploit
complementarities among diverse stocks
To integrate existing knowledge, generate new
knowledge, and successfully exploit this new
knowledge, thus striking a blend of adaptive
learning and generative learning
Co-ordination Flexibility
Economies of Diversity
The utilization of a capability developed through the
experience of building strategic assets in existing
businesses to create a new asset in a new business
called “asset creation”
'asset fission‘; which is the expansion of a
corporation's existing pool of capabilities through
related diversification
Or, it may 'simply' be a matter of mixing technologies
that are already under the control of the business in
new ways
Jugaad
To be able to innovate, leapfrog, manage creatively
and make additional returns on investments within
a framework of scarcity.
With presence of mind, thinking ‘on the feet’ and
effective actions, ‘jugaad’ can only be undertaken
by an innovative workforce.
Bricolage
“making do with what is at hand”
instrumental in resource construction and
combination of resources for new purposes
Operationally the same as Jugaad

Spirit of jugaad / bricolage and the concept of
resource fungibility go together
They tend to achieve economies of scope in view
of the savings associated with such a stretch of
resources
Strategic Flexibility
The ability to change or stretch a firm’s strategic
uses of resources and capabilities
Or to exercise their potential fungibility to
maximize the value extracted from them
Strategic flexibility is captured in the concept of
dynamic capabilities as well
