Sometimes the things that have been forgotten can be viewed as new by reminding us of what is important (Watson, 2013). Pope Francis actions reflect a social innovator and some may call intrapreneur (Dearing, 2014). The definition of intrapreneur is a person within a large corporation who takes direct responsibility for turning an idea into a profitable finished product through assertive risk-taking and innovation (Pinchot, 2010).

Intrapreneurs have been credited with increasing the speed and cost-effectiveness of technology transfer from Research and Development to the end result of the marketplace. However, intrapreneurs must not be confused with inventors. Inventors come up with the idea for a new product while intrapreneurs come up with new processes that get the product to the market. Some of the methods that have been used by businesses to foster intrapreneurship involve granting the employee something similar to ownership rights of the internal enterprises they create. Intrapreneurial teams are treated like more of a profit centre than a cost centre. One way some companies deal with this is for the team to have their own internal bank account so they can readily monitor income and expenditure. Team members are allowed a variety of options in innovation efforts and alliances, and employees are encouraged to develop through training programmes.

This in results portrays them as “psychopathic.” Bakan argues that: corporations are psychopaths, corporate social responsibility is illegal, and that corporations are able to manipulate anyone, even the government.

I wish to examine how intra-organizational learning experience impacts innovation in an organization and thereby potentially drives “intrapreneurial” behavior within the organization.
