Intrapreneurship: theme of the 3rd edition
What if, backed up by some success stories, academic research on intrapreneurship slightly preceded management practice? First of all, it is difficult to measure the real importance of the phenomenon because its definition is not self-evident. In practice, intrapreneurship disdains traditional disciplines, being at the crossroads of innovation, human resources, projects, creativity and strategy. It goes beyond the initial area of large companies and invades the world of SMEs as well as the non-commercial domain and public management. Putting utopianism to one side, one must question the reality and limits of intrapreneurship. What is the real role or intrapreneurship in the diffusion of innovative management practices? Can the promotion of intrapreneurial behaviour paradoxically be accompanied by a desire to inhibit all vague entrepreneurial impulses. Is management by intrapreneurship a paradox in itself?
With this in mind, we invite you to develop new original and critical perspectives on the following topics:
- The various forms of intrapreneurship,
- Intrapreneurship and innovation management,
- Project management and intrapreneurship: differences and similarities,
- Intrapreneurship and the making of strategy (autonomous strategic behaviour and emerging strategy),
- Entrepreneurial organisation and intrapreneurial behaviour,
- Managing intrapreneurs,
- Intrapreneurship and power in organisations,
- From intrapreneurship to entrpreneurship: levers and constraints,
- Intrapreneurship versus entrepreneurship,
- Intrapreneurship in the non-commercial world,
- Management practices facilitating the development of intrapreneurial behaviour,
- Gender, diversity and intrapreneurship,
- Intrapreneurship and sustainable development,
- etc.
