The Emerging Hero!
Do you still remember this? A once upon a time emerging hero from no where. Due to the chaotic world of alien penetration to Earth, a young boy became a pilot to the "Macross" fighter!
Does this sound familiar to some entrepreneur in the business world? When the market is complex, high uncertainty and chaotic, many needs to find the best way to sustain their business. Some trying to just survive. Yet, at the same time, entrepreneur emerged!
If this is significant, does that mean during good time there will be no entrepreneur? Is is a very subject question because we may categories these people whom are doing great during the good time as "Intrapreneur".
What is the different?
An Entrepreneur:
An entrepreneur is a person whom pursue opportunities without regard to resources currently under one's control.
An Intrapreneur:
An intrepreneur is an employee who takes personal responsibility for pushing an innovative idea through a large organisation.
Adopted from Kreitner (2009) "Principles of Management", 11th Edition, South-Western Cengage.
Thanks to the above definition, we can assume that an entrepreneur keeps exploring businesses, very proactive in taking risk and see the chaotic world as challenges in day to day life. Well, from a different point of view, it is the chaotic world that force a person to be in the state of pursuing opportunities without regard to resources which basically no control. Since you cannot control on your resources and the environment factors are turbulent, without any choices, on will have to go for the 'hard knocks'! Also, given such situation, many organisations may have to consolidate their resources which lead to retrenchment. With that, more people may want to be entrepreneur, not always by choice but to survive.
This justify the assumption on why during the bad times of economy, more innovation products or business would emerge, more 'heroes' would make an impact in our life forever.
Hence, from the other end, an intrapreneur would exist during a state environment, stable and comfortable. Meaning, you will feel happy to strive for your company knowing that the company is growing and is making good profits.
Do you think you are now in a chaotic world or a state environment?
Do you think you are in a position to be an entrepreneur or an intrapreneur?
Are you the emerging hero?
