Abstract: Abstract An important concept found in the research data is Intrapreneurial Team Freedom. This chapter will explain this concept, its properties and lower-level concepts. Intrapreneurial Team Freedom is about providing the freedom and responsibility for running the Self-Managed Teams by allowing entrepreneurial behavior; creating conditions and maintaining the freedom so that they act with entrepreneurial spirit to innovate and create new solutions for problems and needs with decisive power within an existing organization. Intrapreneurship is often associated with creating a venture within an existing venture. Recent developments have shown that the term has been used in more situations with its main focus on the entrepreneurial behavior that it requires from the intrapreneurs, rather than experimenting with a venture with the help of an existing firm. In this respect entrepreneurial behavior is about having ideas and using initiative, resourcefulness and determination. This generates something of value for the clients, the nurses and nurse assistants, and the organization. Next to specific behavior it requires certain conditions such as structure and actions. While in pure intrapreneurship the aim is to create a venture within a venture, here we suggest introducing Intrapreneurial Team Freedom to focus on the process rather than the results in terms of creating something of economic value.
