Property 'entries' does not exist on type 'ObjectConstructor'

I'm working on an ng2 implementation. I'm using the following function call to convert an object to an array:

var authors = Object.entries(responseObject.Authors);

This is a standard js function. However, the ts compiler returns the following error:

"Property 'entries' does not exist on type 'ObjectConstructor'"

Based on a quick google it appears that the solution may be to change the compilerOptions target property from es5 to es6. However, after some previous research for a previous issue, I thought that I was able to leverage es6 functionality by including the additional "lib" property on my tsconfig.json below:

  "compilerOptions": {
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "module": "commonjs",
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "outDir": "../Scripts/",
    "removeComments": false,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "lib": [
      "es2015",
      "dom"
    ]
  }

I also tried changing the target property to es2015 and then rebuilt the project and executed "typescriptUsingTsConfig" but I still get the same error. Any idea what I can do here in order to leverage the Object.entries() function?
