CONCEPTUALIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF INTRAPRENEURSHIP: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

This article corresponds to a qualitative type of research whose purpose is to represent the phenomenon of intrapreneurship in terms of its conceptualization and characterization through documentary analysis, as well as the application, transcription, coding and analysis of 11 interviews with people related with the corporate entrepreneurship in the northeast area of Mexico. The interactions with the research subjects led to the categorization of codes of first and second order in terms of connotation attributed by the respondent to the term (CO) and the characteristics of normative perception in terms of resources and capacities of intrapreneurial companies (CA). The subcodes attributed to such families allowed a contrast between the information derived from the contributions of the research subjects and the existing theoretical-empirical knowledge.
