The Intrapreneur

The word intrapreneur was coined in the late 70s to describe employees who act like an entrepreneur within an established organization. Intrapreneurs develop original solutions, processes, or products. They can then sell their ideas to the higher-ups, use those innovations to motivate change, and even transform entire industries.

The entrepreneurial spirit is the same, yet their position within an organization offsets the risks of starting a new business.
