Intrapreneurship (or corporate entrepreneurial spirit) is the practice of abilities and approaches of entrepreneurs within an established organization. Having into account that being an entrepreneur is a way of thinking, feeling and acting, this course will examine the challenges and opportunities that employees and organizations have to create and maintain a culture that fosters intrapreneurial efforts. Particularly, we will emphasize on family businesses, given the fact that they are a type of organization that due to its characteristics can repress an entrepreneurial culture that in the future can affect its development, competition and survival.

3. JUSTIFICATION

Entrepreneurship is transversal to the different areas of life. You can be an entrepreneur acting on personal and community events, as well as creating your own company or business units in an established company; It is also possible to be an entrepreneur in areas as diverse as public policy or culture, among others.
Particularly, corporate entrepreneurs are individuals with an entrepreneurial vision, who manifest a conduct and guide their behavior towards development and the
internal entrepreneurial spirit within an organization. This allows them to generate and take advantage of innovative ideas and developing them as profitable business opportunities. As a fundamental characteristic, we identify a corporate entrepreneur as someone who commits their time and effort to research; create and mold ideas into business for their own benefit and the sustained growth of the firm, detecting successes where others see failures or problems; and whose strength is innovation with talent and creativity of goods and services.

Following this narrative, Universidad del Norte aims to develop and foster among its students the entrepreneurial skills necessaries to become intrapreneurs and to facilitate the processes that motivate human talent in their organizations, thus becoming a change agent.

7. METHODOLOGICAL OPTIONS – LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Methodological options

Visits of employees or companies with entrepreneurship culture Through the main activities proposed by this course, what is sought primarily is to encourage the creative solution of problems or situations with potential for improvement in already established organizations. Particular emphasis is placed on companies with family ownership since the particular dynamics of this type of organization can inhibit an intra-entrepreneurial culture.
Development of a case study on Intrapreneurship
The methodology of the proposed activities is based on pedagogical processes related to: provocation for the development of attitudes + identification and generation of awareness about problems and needs in an environment + creativity and approach of innovative solutions + design, formulation and support of business
ideas.
Intervention in a family- owned company to come up with appropriate governance structures / mechanisms that promote intrapreneurship.
