Summary
This part of the book examines how the division general manager (DGM) influences new business creation (Figure IV.1).
The DGM has a major influence on new business creation. Several specifics concerning the DGM are important: his personal assets, including his personality, experience, and leverage with the corporate executives (Chapter 11), his motivation and strategy for new business creation (Chapter 12), his building of corporate support for it (Chapter 13), and his leadership of the division for new business creation (Chapter 14).
