Corporate entrepreneurship has been a popular topic in recent years, and entrepreneurial transition of Chinese established enterprises has been an important issue for their development.

Then literatures on corporate entrepreneurship, organizational structure, organizational change are reviewed in Part II. And the objective of the study is to find the relationship of entrepreneurship strategy, organizational structure, organizational change and entrepreneurial performance.Findings of case studies, including current situations of corporate entrepreneurship of Chinese enterprises and main factors that affecting success and failure of corporate entrepreneurship, are presented in Part III. Three kinds of enterprises are studied, including failing enterprises, and enterprises from eastern and western China.
