Intrapreneur: An Entrepreneur Within a Company

An Approach on Modeling and Measuring Intrapreneurship Competence

  • Chapter
Becoming an Entrepreneur

Part of the book series: Professional and Vet Learning ((PAVL))

Abstract

Rapid changes in social and economic life claim for new and other so-called 21st Century Skills (Mayer & Solga, 2008, pp. 2-3). Thus, the labor market has increased its interest in employees with entre- and intrapreneurial mindsets for mastering the tremendous competitions in various markets. The comparative advantages in today’s competition are to a smaller extent rather cost issues, than innovations and unique selling propositions (USP) (Antoncic & Hisrich, 2001).
