Gifford Pinchot introduced one of the most liberating concepts ever to emerge in business: Intrapreneuring, or how an employee within a large corporation, using courage, foresight and tools for managing the corporate immune system, can succeed in taking direct, entrepreneur-like responsibility for turning an idea into a profitable product or service.
In this timely re-release of his classic work, Pinchot shows how large corporations can innovate at Internet speed. The only way is to make good use of their people's intrapreneurial energy. He provides a blueprint for how an individual can become an intrapreneur and how companies can develop and support entrepreneurial talents-a necessity if they are to remain innovative in the 21st century.

Review
"Big corporations are trying to capture some of the magic of small companies. . . . There is a new code for this kind of operation: intrapreneurship. . . . Pinchot's thesis is stirring discussion within management circles." - Time
"Pinchot has done a remarkable job of describing in detail how large organizations can make a home for innovators-those indespensible, unpredictable, productive people who are the key to genuine progress anywhere." - L.W. Lehr, Chairman and CEO, 3M
