Intrapreneurship

Proposal for the Reorganization of Literature

Abstract

As a way of ensuring sustainable competitive advantage, organizations have often been challenged to innovate in their products and services, whose life cycles are becoming smaller, as well as to act on a global scale and to open up new markets. As organizations depend on an entrepreneurial culture to innovate and generate competitive advantage, actions characterized as intrapreneurship become relevant. Considering the concept of intrapreneurship as emerging behaviors or behavioral intentions, which break with routine aspects of already existing organizations, this study aims to identify, analyze and reorganize the studies that approach the subject of intrapreneurship, taking a basis the systematic review of the literature involving this theme. To do so, this study adopted the methodology described by Petticrew and Roberts (2006) for the systematic review of the literature (RSL). As a main result, this study proposes a form of reorganization of the literature for intrapreneurship.
