In this paper I set out a framework which is intended to act as a guide for managers of smaller firms in mature sectors who want to develop an entrepreneurial culture. Such a culture is defined as the ability to adopt new working practices within the organisation as well as introducing new products and services. There are two key factors in the proposed framework, first, stakeholding which encourages mutual commitment between employer and employee. Secondly, IT which is seen as the catalyst in culture change by stimulating the sharing of information across all organisational boundaries.
