“…Guerrero and Peña-Legazkue (2013) argue that intrapreneurial manpower can be the cornerstone of innovation and competitive advantage. An intrapreneur is a person who makes efforts, individually or collectively, to engage in innovative behavior in an organization (Pinchot, 1985;Antoncic and Hisrich, 2001;Perlman et al, 1988;Wiethe-K€ orprich et al, 2017). This implies that intrapreneurial employees are placed at the top of the agenda in a company for using their innovation to foster a firm's growth and strategic renewal (Veenker et al, 2008).…”

PurposeDrawing largely upon resource orchestration theory, this study aims to contribute to the intellectual capital (IC) literature by testing a model where intrapreneurship mobilizes resources to trigger firm performance. More specifically, this study investigates how intrapreneurship mediates the relationship between IC and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachData was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to a target sample of publicly-listed Iranian companies across a variety of sectors. Archival data supplemented the survey findings to capture financial performance. A structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, using LISREL, was used to assess the measurement and structural models.FindingsThe results supported the hypothesized associations among IC, intrapreneurship, and financial performance. Furthermore, the findings provided some evidence that IC is indirectly related to financial performance through the mediating role of intrapreneurship.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus on Iranian publicly listed companies limits the generalizability of results.Practical implicationsManagers need to align the company's strategic resources with other competencies such as intrapreneurial initiatives. The synthesis of knowledge resources and intrapreneurship can help organization to better organize, synchronize and support – i.e. “orchestrate” – their human and structural capital, improving the firm's social and innovation capital and eventually enhancing overall performance.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, this is the first study ever to explore the mediating role of intrapreneurship in the relationship between IC and financial performance from the resource orchestration lens.

“…Most recent systematic literature reviews by Bos-Nehles, Renkema and Janssen (2017) and Li and Hsu (2016) have studied the link between human resource practices and IWB at the employee level. Some scholars have focused on the concept of intrapreneurship in working life, e.g., Wiethe-Körprich, Weber, Bley and Kreuzer (2017) and De Jong (2016). Some insight into the impact of learning behaviours on innovative behaviour in work teams has been the concern of scholarly research run by Widmann, Messmann and Mulder (2016).…”

Purpose: Taking a literature review as a point of departure, the main aim of this paper was the identification of the behavioural indicators of innovators at the workplace, and their classification. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was addressed by means of a search in Elsevier’s Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. By applying inclusive and exclusive criteria, references were obtained with the search protocol. After filtering and scanning, there was a selection of references plus other articles added by the snowball effect. The final phase undertaken was the classification of the main indicators raised in the publications selected.Findings: Our main contribution was the identification of the behavioural indicators of innovators at the workplace and their classification in five dimensions.Practical implications: This research may yield some light on the assessment of innovative workplace performance of individuals in organisations, as well as on the development of the innovative competence of students in academic institutions as a challenge to meet the needs of both professionals and Higher Education institutions.Originality/value: Some authors have studied the characteristics of innovative people mainly focusing on cognitive abilities, personality, motivation and knowledge. We have sought to offer a better understanding of the phenomenon of individual innovation in organisations, through the analysis of behavioural indicators, an issue that has not been studied from this perspective previously.

“…Further research is needed to decisively address the competences for corporate social entrepreneurs. Compared to the already differentiated research on social or sustainability entrepreneurship [73][74][75][76] and the scant research on corporate entrepreneurship [77,78] and corporate intrapreneurship [79], few competency frameworks for corporate social entrepreneurs are available so far.…”

(1) Background: Corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE) is a young phenomenon courting recognition that is attracting increasing attention in academia and corporate practice. Nevertheless, it has rarely found its way into the curricula of higher education institutions (HEI), which raises the question of the concept’s potential for further development in the realm of academic teaching; (2) Our study is based on a mostly qualitative research design consisting of expert interviews, focus groups, and a low-standardized survey; (3) Results: Corporate social entrepreneurship is seen as having strong potential to enrich education at institutions of higher learning, to establish new forms of teaching, and to bridge the gap between higher education and society; (4) Conclusions: Although our results indicate industry need and student demand for competent corporate social entrepreneurs, German HEIs have not yet integrated CSE-specific education into their curricula. However, the required competences are covered by CSE-related fields of study, which hampers the holistic education of CSE learners. A CSE curriculum needs to cover core CSE concepts as well as key competences, and the engagement of quadruple helix stakeholders requires an adjustable and transversal approach of curriculum development.
