Sometimes Intrapreneurship Courses are under different names. I teach a course called Corporate Innovation and New Ventures which is an Intrepreneurship Course.

Jeff,
Entrepreneurs get attention, yet are a tiny fraction of innovators.
"Intrapreneurs" are far more important to any national economy, but I never
hear about studying them.
Intrapreneurs start new businesses within existing organizations. They face
similar issues: products worth developing, attracting both skills and
funding. In their case, permission from management to pursue their project.
Years ago, "skunkworks" was a breeding place for intrapreneurs. Today the
process has been mainstreamed in some companies.
I would think that education in entrepreneurship would render students unfit
for industrial-age companies that don't really understand innovation or
entrepreneurship.
A couple of years ago, I Googled "Entrepreneurship and Innovation." Found
many dozens of university institutes. Googling the words in the other
order, I found dozens more. Of those only Penn State focused on
intrapreneurship.
Best,
Gary

Subject: Meta-Analysis: Impact of Entrepreneurship Education
Hello:
My colleagues and I plan to conduct a meta-analysis on the topic of the
impact of entrepreneurship education on future employment and/or success as
an entrepreneur. Specifically, we plan to examine whether exposure to formal
education in entrepreneurship (e.g. community college courses, undergraduate
courses at colleges/universities, graduate courses colleges/universities,
etc.) leads to either: 1) an increased likelihood of starting a business, or
joining a start-up company, upon completion of the course work; or 2)
entrepreneurial success (e.g. firms with high survival rates, increased
revenue, etc.). We would be comparing these groups to those who have not
received formal entrepreneurship education.
If you have conducted research in either of these areas, we would very much
appreciate it if:
1. You could make us aware of any little known research that is not
available in the published literature; 2. You could send us any unpublished
papers you have on one or both of these topics (journal articles, masters
and/or doctoral theses, technical reports, and research institute/center
reports, among others); 3. You could send us any citations of papers you
have published on these topics; 4. You would be willing to share any raw
data that you do not plan on publishing but you think would be helpful in
including in a meta-analysis of this type.
If you have any of the above that you would like to have included in our
meta-analysis, please send them to:

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
