The time factor is important. and moreover how many mavericks you can breed and be comfortable that they will not be your direct competitors tomorow?

IMHO.. it is very tricky to strike a win-win situation.. A couple of years back, I was supporting a medium size organization as a vendor. The chairman & the COO used to invite me for meetings and seek my inputs on where I can add value.. I was repeatedly told that Im not being looked at as vendor, but like one of their own. But when it comes to sharing some of their insights, things have been quite different. I wouldnt blame them.. After all, they would have spent years & years to gain the insight and it will be very difficult to give it away. So my contention is that a internship or a guest worker program may not work. The entrepreneur should be willing to work in a large organization as an employee if needs to gain something from it. On the other side, large organizations would do better by encouraging intra-preneurs. The idea is great.. IMHO.. it is very tricky to strike a win-win situation..

But are there EARS? Biggies should incubate start-ups and try out their ideas (lean and mean always wins). Easy to bend, mold, grow, and at worst destroy. Here is an article which predicts there won't any biggies in the next round of economy (Economy 2.0 ??!! ... some call it economy 3.0 :-) ). http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/17-06/nep_essay Good idea.
