This course discusses the importance and unique nature of intrapreneurship. We explain the processes firms use to create and select opportunities for new businesses by leveraging in-house and external ideas. Further we discuss how firms can create a context in which individuals are stimulated to act entrepreneurial. Finally, we explain how firms can design ambidextrous organizations in which entrepreneurial and existing activities coincide and mutually reinforce each other. Special attention is hereby given to the strategic role of corporate venturing.
