A Family Business Project? So What! Eight Strategies for Intrapreneurial Scholars

Abstract

There is no sense trying to develop a new area with no support. You need at least some colleagues who acknowledge the importance of the topic and who, better yet, show an interest in pitching in. You need some institutional support too, from the dean, program director, and someone. Additionally, some students with a genuine interest are a must. Even with this beginning, you must promote the field all over your organization, get the resources you need, and find people who are committed and enthusiastic about what you're doing. All this while bearing in mind that small is “beautiful,” at least at the beginning.
