The intrapreneur is <strong>a person who acts as an entrepreneur within an organization<\/strong>, that is, a person who is responsible for starting a business, activity or initiative within a company or institution in which they work on behalf of others<\/p>\n<p>Although the concept already has a long theoretical trajectory, it has not been accompanied, from my point of view, by a real development and with great diffusion in practice; At least in its most exhaustive sense, which would require the <em>creation of a business project from within another company<\/em>.
