| Description |
As a contemporary business issue, several researchers have attempted to understand the factors that stimulate the development of intrapreneurship businesses from their initial status of entrepreneurship. Factors such as external environment, organization structure, business strategy, and management activities have been recognized as what mainly affecting the development of intrapreneurship. Major activities related to intrapreneurship include opportunity perception, idea generation, designing a new product or another recombination of resources, persuading management, planning, and organizing. Key behavioral aspects of intrapreneurship hold personal initiative, information search, new thinking, taking charge, and risk taking. Although the existing studies mostly measure the behavioral aspects of intrapreneurship at the organizational level, still there is a lack of research to study the intrapreneurial behavior at individual level of the organization. Towards a competing methodological dimension, this paper integratively used the three alternative conceptual approaches which reflect the intrapreneurial behavior in diverse aspects. In particular, by adopting the case method, multiple data gathering methods, and qualitative data analysis, the paper examined some key intrapreneurship behavioral aspects in particular at the individual level of a medium scale Sri Lankan family business which has illustrated intrapreneurial characteristics to a greater extent. The paper reveals that the leadership at top with the perception of the family business status of the organization has played the initiative role in making it more intrapreneurial with the concept of corporate entrepreneurship.
