Abstract: Abstract This chapter evaluates intrapreneurship as a method to drive business innovation in big corporations as well as in start-up, and scale-up businesses. In particular, the focus is about the implementation of intrapreneurship methods and their effectiveness. The lead research question “Does intrapreneurship make businesses more innovative?” is answered with the help of interdisciplinary literature analysis and qualitative research in form of structured expert interviews in the following chapter. The assumption that intrapreneurship helps businesses to be more innovative, keep up with competition, and even outperform them, is confirmed by the experts. Additionally, the most influential factors such as leadership and organizational structure, to make intrapreneurship and innovative environments flourish, are supported. Intrapreneurship is not only enhancing the success of the business, but also increases attractivity of the company for existing and potential talents. Innovation is constantly happening, even without the companies’ awareness. Hence, why intrapreneurship can be used as an effective method to foster innovation from within and integrate it into the culture, so it flourishes more naturally. Leadership and management are facing challenges they must overcome, creating an outstanding innovative environment.
