Intrapreneurship; Conceptualizing entrepreneurial employee behaviour

Jeroen de Jong and Sander Wennekers

No H200802, Scales Research Reports from EIM Business and Policy Research

Abstract: This paper discusses the similarities and differences between intrapreneurship and independent entrepreneurship. Most but not all of the activities and behavioural aspects of the latter are also typical of the former phenomenon. Key differential elements of independent entrepreneurship are the investment of personal financial means and the related financial risk taking, a higher degree of autonomy, and legal and fiscal aspects of establishing a new independent business. Based on this discussion an integral conceptual model of intrapreneurial behaviour is presented. The paper closes with conclusions.
