Abstract

This article presents preliminary findings of what challenges Indian organizations face when working with generation Z intrapreneurs. Organization will grow at a faster pace if the decision makers in the organization are entrepreneurial in their approach. These entrepreneurs when working within the organization by taking the approval and sanctions to use the organization resources are termed as intrapreneurs. Yet scholars know too little about what challenges Indian organization face while working with generation Z intrapreneurs. The findings reveal that Indian organizations have started hiring generation Z intrapreneurs and are facing challenges working with them. These findings support previous research which concludes organizational supportive environment is a facilitator for organization to spur intrapreneurial culture in the organization.
