@Usman – thanks you for the comment – I agree, If a company has a rigid structure to which they work, and do not let room for deviation this can stifle the innovation. I think in the future, with the increase of Generation-Y’s entering in the workspace, companies will have to adapt to encourage innovation

As a Business Executive myself I strongly believe Intrapreneurs are integral towards the growth of a company. I agree most of the time the company culture hampers innovation by confining employees to their duty and never allowing them to share their ideas which could easily drive notable success.

@anniesmith – thank you for your comments – the structures definitely have to be in place, if the organization doesn’t allow its star employees to innovate and run with their ideas and projects, this will stifle corporate development and an organisation can stall.

I agree that Intrapreneur can be instrumental to driving success for an organization. What we learn though is that the success really depends on how an organization is structured to offer the right motivation (not necessarily financial rewards) to the individual to drive changes and grow. Sometimes, the challenge of doing something really hard and making things better in it of itself can motivate these Intrapreneurs sufficiently.
