A powerpoint on Business Planning & Entrepreneurship showcasing a sub topic of Intrapreneurship, including characteristics of an Intrapreneur, advantages, disadvantages and finally some compelling case studies to further reinforce the points made in the presentation.
4. “Intrapreneur is an employee who is
given freedom and financial support to
create new products, systems and
services who does not have to follow
the company’s usual routines and
protocols.
-Sir Richard Branson

organisation should be right.
An Appropriate work force of enterprising people should
be built in which scientific recruitment is made.
Support system, team working, information sharing &
learning are necessary for invoking the dormant talents of
employees.
Successful employees must be rewarded and not
penalized for their mistakes.

19. Steve Jobs an Intrapreneur?
Steve Jobs is well-
known as a successful
and innovative
entrepreneur. But by
his own definitive
published statement,
Jobs was both an
entrepreneur and an
intrapreneur!
20. Steve Jobs and his
handpicked group of twenty
Apple Computer engineers
separated themselves from
the other Apple employees to
innovatively and
intrapreneurially create the
Apple Macintosh Computer
(the “Mac”). Under Steve Jobs’
personal leadership the MAC
group operated totally
independently and without
22. It however
led to
certain
Repurcussio
ns
This separate Apple intrapreneurship
venture would ultimately compete with
Apple’s mainstay products.
This competition was part of what led
Apple’s CEO, John Scully, and to become
displeased with Jobs’ intrapreneurial
independence.
Scully led the Apple board of directors to fire
Steve Jobs (which John Scully later admitted
was mistake on his part). Several years late
Steve Jobs later returned to save Apple as
its Chairman until his death 2012.
24. Idea: Sometimes, intrapreneurship
happens by accident. Dr. Spencer
Silver, a scientist at 3M, was attempting
to create an extremely strong adhesive
Instead, he accidentally created a light
adhesive that stuck to surfaces well.
Benefit: Instead of throwing away this
idea because it didn’t solve the problem
at hand, he stuck with it until he found a
use for it. Post-It notes were born and if
you are the vast majority of desk
workers you’re probably looking at a pad
of them right now.
25. Idea: Just like W.L .Gore, Google
allows time for personal projects.
One of these is something you
probably use multiple times a
day, Gmail.
Benefit: Paul Buchheit, the
creator of Gmail, started on the
project in 2001 and worked up to
its launch on April 1, 2004 (April
Fools but not really.) Gmail
became the first email with a
successful search feature
