Intrapreneurship is a relatively recent but increasingly important up and coming concept that involves using entrepreneurial thinking an behaviours as an employee for a company – an intrapreneur is someone working within a company that takes risks and shows creativity in an effort to solve a given problem with innovation. Like an entrepreneur, the intrapreneur will take risks, but within the context of their job in the company. There are many companies quietly embracing and developing this powerful advantage. Steve Jobs credited the Macintosh team as evidence of Intrapreneurship and Richard Branson believes intrapreneurs are necessary for healthy growth in any organisation.

Pinchot (1984) defined intrapreneurs as “dreamers who do. Those who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind, within a business”. Koch (2014) goes further, claiming that intrapreneurs are the “secret weapon” of the business world. Based on these definitions, being an intrapreneur is considered to be beneficial for both intrapreneurs and large organisations. Companies support intrapreneurs with finance and access to corporate resources, while intrapreneurs create innovation for companies.
