High performing workforce has a positive impact on the company's performance. It has been realized since 1990s. Since then the focus of competition is gradually shifting from products and finances to that of talent management. It is believed that the star performers if managed and retained well; will generate strong competitive advantage for the company and will have magnanimous cost and behavior implications. So the companies have gone a long way to deeply engage their employees and are competing on the same. It has resulted not only in revolutionizing the way business is done but also reducing employee turnover to the minimum limits as against the high industry standards. The study uses a sample of five companies from Fortune 500 best employers from retail sector to understand how they have generated competitive advantage via human resources.Keywords

Corporate Entrepreneurs differ in certain aspects from Cooperative ones in certain aspects. There is no apparent distinction or departure in the approach of the entrepreneur in managing ventures. In the light of conceptual framework, Corporate entrepreneurship is seen in the cases identified which has resulted in terms of organizational renewal by generating innovative strategic stress and calculated risk to creating new businesses by either market development as in case of LN Mittal or by going via strategic expansion path. The paper discusses the two approaches to entrepreneurship and their nature and instincts.Keywords
