AB  - Numerous organizations find themselves in a “turbulent field”. The greater
the complexity of their environment, the greater is their external
uncertainty. It is possible to cope with these uncertainties by
structuring the organization differently and bringing about a new way of
thinking. Royal PTT Nederland NV (KPN) is an organization which has
undergone a sweeping process of change. To be the best provider of
information transport, the company had to change its internal working
methods and adopt an “entrepreneurial” approach. Examines some theoretical
notions of entrepreneurs and managers. Looks at two cases at PTT Telecom
(one of KPN′s operating companies) in which the authors were involved.
One case relates to the fundamentals of a major reorganization programme
that got under way in late 1990 and will affect virtually all the
company′s employees. The other case gives a detailed understanding of
the introduction of a new company management style and the shared values
based on it. Uses all this to draw some conclusions and to provide a
platform for further discussions with regard to internal
entrepreneurship.
