QUESTION

“An intrapreneur uses entrepreneurial thinking and skills similar to a startup founder, but within the support of an established company. Intrapreneurs exhibit initiative, creativity, adaptability, and autonomy. They seek to solve problems and have the potential to help organizations innovate and grow. Intrapreneurs can exist within any type of organization, and anyone can learn to be more entrepreneurial.”
