3. What Is An Intrapreneur?
“An inside entrepreneur, or an entrepreneur within a large firm, who
uses entrepreneurial skills without incurring the risks associated with
those activities. Intrapreneurs are usually employees within a company
who are assigned a special idea or project, and are instructed to develop
the project like an entrepreneur would. Intrapreneurs usually have the
resources and capabilities of the firm at their disposal. The intrapreneur's
main job is to turn that special idea or project into a profitable venture
for the company. “

4. Richard Branson On Intrapreneurship
 “Seeing guests exploring the beach reminded me that one of the first
charming things visitors to the BVIs see are signs in the airport arrivals area
that designate the immigration channels. Unlike the rest of the English-
speaking world, here the signs read "Belongers" and "Non-Belongers,"
rather than "Residents" and "Non-residents.
 Since I became a resident, I've come to find the term "belonger" amazingly
powerful. When a nation embraces its own as "belonging here" as opposed
to just living there, it breeds a different form of loyalty. It reminds us that
this is where we belong, and so our efforts are not just on our own behalf,
but also to benefit the community.
 This made me think about how such little, seemingly semantic, details
apply in the business world: What if companies had belongers rather than
employees?”
