Whether running a small main-street retail business, a local manufacturing plant, or creating and running a global technology company (think Mark Zuckerberg who started Facebook), our lives are impacted by their work every day. In fact, every product you use is available thanks to the work of an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship can take many forms:
Intrapreneurship occurs when an employee works in an entrepreneurial manner in a large company or organization where they drive innovation and change which is core to the firm’s survival and development.

CAREER INFORMATION
Innovation and Entrepreneurship are likely the world’s oldest profession. When the first cave person picked up a stick or unworked stone to use as a tool to improve their lives and the lives of those around them, the entrepreneurial spirit took hold in human society.
In fact, the ability of humans to innovate seems to almost be a part of our DNA. It was and is the twin skills of consciously steering the evolution of ideas to foment innovation, and to trade with each another that have allowed human societies to evolve and our living standards to rise at an ever-increasing pace throughout our species history.
