Abstract: | The intrapreneur is the corporate entrepreneur. But some people consider “corporation” and “entrepreneur” so opposite that “intrapreneur” is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms. Not so, says the author, who argues that an organization without an entrepreneurial spirit becomes a bureaucracy. On the other hand, the small firm cannot depend on entrepreneurship alone. Without professional management it may stay small—or worse, go broke. |
