Intrapreneurship is acting like an entrepreneur within an organization.
Intrapreneurship is a fairly new concept. "Intra" means "on the inside," therefore an intrapreneur is an entrepreneur on the inside of a company. Intraprenuers are usually highly self-motivated, proactive and action-oriented people who are comfortable with taking the initiative, within the boundaries of an organization, in pursuit of an innovative product or service. The intrapreneur has the comfort of knowing that failure does not have a personal cost as it does for an entrepreneur, since the organization absorbs losses arising from failure.
