For many established and growing businesses, the ability to identify and effectively respond to new opportunities is increasingly central to their success, not just to survive, but to thrive. Th is unit explores large private, non for profit organisations and governments which draw on approaches and practices common to entrepreneurial start-ups to help them identify new market opportunities, increase growth, develop innovation to identify and respond to these opportunities. This is sometimes called 'intrapreneurship'. The aim of this unit is to provide students with insights into the intrapreneurship process. It does so by giving them a real world practice and experience across different aspects of non-profits, government, and big business in contemporary and future business environments.
1. Distinguish the key features of the intrapreneurship within a range of established organisations (Profit, Non-profit and Public sector);
2. Summarize global key insights about creative innovative practice for intrapreneurship into practice in your own project, organisation, or industry;
3. Develop and lead an innovative research project (Large Private, Non-Profit and Government organisations), write recommendations to help the manage change, and reflect on practice within an organisation; and
4. Critically evaluate innovative practice in government and large organisations and identify the steps that could be taken to improve the effectiveness in organisations and institutions for the future.
