Topic:  Entrepreneur vs. Intrapraneur
In today’s rapidly changing economy, it is increasingly difficult for anyone to make long term strategic decisions.  Several companies face decreasing sales while their employees face potential downsizing. As signs of the return to Cottage Industry continue to take shape, it is more important than ever to find ways to showcase your skills during continual economic change.  Because of this, employers are increasingly searching for entrepreneurial minded employees.
