Download or read book Intrapreneuring written by Gifford III Pinchot and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances the notion of "intrapreneuring," an in-house form of entrepreneurship, and examines how intrapreneurs and corporations can work together for mutual benefit. Innovation is essential to continued commercial vitality and large organizations often have the ideas and resources to implement innovation. What they often lack, however, is a corporate culture that fosters identifying and converting these ideas into commercially viable ventures. The solution, according to the author, is the intrapreneur: one who takes a hands-on responsibility for creating innovation within the organization. Using a case study approach, the book analyzes characteristics of intrapreneurs, the intrapreneurial process, and how companies can develop an intrepreneurial culture. Intrapreneurs prefer action to extensive planning; nevertheless, they are calculated risk-takers who will assume responsibility for envisioning the necessary product, market, and management strategies. Because of this preference, the objectives of the intrapreneur can be aligned with the needs of the company. Furthermore, intrapreneuring provides an innovator with a built-in stock of assets, allowing the employee more time to implement the vision and less need to worry about securing investment capital that is faced by entrepreneurs. The intrapreneurial process is similar to the entrepreneurial process, with business plans and idea champions. Intrapreneuring also distinctively involves a role for the in-house sponsor, one who will finesse the corporate politics while the intrapreneur attends single-mindedly to making the idea a reality. Frequently, sponsors are found among owners, CEOs and former intrapreneurs. The last section of the book identifies corporate cultural factors that will promote intrapreneurship. Additionally, the need for appropriate incentives, since few intrapreneurs are driven by a desire to accumulate massive wealth, is discussed. The author proposes a system of "intracapital," a commitment to provide a certain amount of discretionary funds without an expiration date as a reward to in-house innovators. (CAR).

The meeting was sponsored by the Research Committee of the Human Resource Planning Society (HRPS). In developing the agenda, the Research Committee built upon the format of the previous HRPS research symposia. The intent in these meetings is on the linkage of the state-of-practice with the state-of-the-art. Particular attention was placed on research studies which were application oriented so that member organizations can see examples of ways to extend current practices with the knowledge presented by the applications. The meeting has sessions on: (1) Reshaping the Organization for the Twenty-first Century, (2) Coping with Major Organizational Change, (3) Organization Downsizing, (4) Evaluating the Human Resource Function and (5) The Impact of Corporate Culture on Future Human Resource Practices. Thirty papers were presented with discussion sessions at appropriate points in the meeting. This volume contains twenty one of these papers along with an introductory paper. A short summary is also provided at the beginning of each major subdivision into which the papers are arranged.
