Sun Microsystems, Inc. (B): Nurturing Entrepreneurs and Change Agents
By: Rosabeth M. Kanter and Jane Roessner
Abstract
Thirty-one "change agents" at Sun Microsystems, Inc. told the story of their most recent significant change project: its origins and goals, the project team, the chronology of the work, the challenges, results, and lessons learned. Their stories answer two questions: What skills does an individual need to be an effective change agent? What is it about the corporate context that makes innovation easier or harder?
