BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: Intrapreneur
- an employee who uses the approach of an entrepreneur within an organizational setting. An intrapreneur must have freedom of action to explore and implement ideas, although the outcome of such work will be owned by the organization rather than the intrapreneur, and it is the organization that will take the associated risk. Managers of organizations in which intrapreneurs are allowed to operate subscribe to the view that innovation can be achieved by encouraging creative and exploratory activity in semiautonomous units.
