Definition; • Entrepreneurship within an existing business. • The development within a corporation of internal markets, Or autonomous or semi-autonomous business units, that produce products, services, or technologies in a unique way. • An opportunity for corporate managers to take initiative & try new ideas. • An internal corporate venture (ICV)

These employees can use start-up business techniques within a firm (large, medium, or small) to create new products or services from existing products or services, or create new synergistic products or services for the company. This is accomplished by allowing and fostering non traditional thinking and by encouraging and supporting the use of “out of the box thinking” within the firm.
