Abstract

This paper examines agile intrapreneurship, an emerging concept in both academic and industrial spheres, as a driving force for corporate transformation and a source of competitive advantage in dynamic business landscapes. Study probes the intricacies of agility, intrapreneurship, and corporate transformation to provide a detailed synthesis of existing research and to elucidate how agile intrapreneurship can be cultivated within organizations to reap a range of benefits, notably enhanced innovation, competitive edge, and overall performance. To this end, we have analyzed and classified the facilitators, obstacles, and potential impacts of agile intrapreneurship, evaluating their representation in scholarly discussions and articulating their influence on corporate change. Our results underscore the significant positive effect of agile intrapreneurship on the success of corporate transformation and on business performance at large, emphasizing the imperative of adapting to change to ensure enduring growth. Furthermore, this paper establishes a foundation for future research into the ramifications of agile intrapreneurship on corporate evolution.
