Howard Stevenson, a professor at Harvard University, believes that entrepreneurship represents a mode of managing an existing firm that is distinct from the way existing firms are traditionally managed. Entrepreneurial management is distinct from traditional management in terms of eight dimensions: (1) strategic orientation, (2) commitment to opportunity, (3) commitment of resources, (4) control of resources, (5) management structure, (6) reward philosophy, (7) growth orientation, and (8) entrepreneurial culture. The nature of the differences among these dimensions is represented in Table 2.1 and described in greater detail below.
