Intrapreneurship: learning about innovative practices

These days, people no longer want to work in jobs where they perform repetitive tasks. Many want to be creative and innovative. As the world changes rapidly, it's important for companies to continue transforming themselves if they want to stay in the race. This is why the candidates sought by organizations must increasingly demonstrate creative attributes that enable them to bring innovation to the company, find avant-garde solutions to challenges, and contribute to the renewal of products, services and ways of doing things.

These employees who introduce innovations help organizations reinvent themselves. We call these people intrapreneurs. They perform their tasks as if they were self-employed entrepreneurs, implementing imaginative approaches, activities, ways of doing things and business models.

In the West, the number of large companies explicitly mentioning innovation, creativity and intrapreneurship criteria in their recruitment literature has been increasing every year for at least a decade.

This book is a continuation of the authors' reflections and work on this theme. To date, no publication has tackled the subject in such a practical and conceptual way. It brings together a variety of case studies, followed by a synthesis of the current state of knowledge on intrapreneurship and organizational entrepreneurship.

A book that offers a framework for thinking about how to maintain a mental model that's alert, learning, creative and innovative.
