Sažetak
Intrapreneurship is a process of forming small autonomous units within the companies which are given necessary resources in order to achieve greater flexibility and adaptability to changes in the environment. Intrapreneurship encourages and stimulates creativity, talent and ideas of employees in order to achieve a profitable enterprise for the company (Babić and Zarić, 2017). From formulating the notion of intrapreneurship (Pinchot, G. and Pinchot, E., 1978; Pinchot, G., 1985), researches can be divided into three phases. The first phase emphasizes the positive impact of innovations, risk taking, employee manager support, organizational renewal and revitalization of the company. The second phase is focused on the analysis of intra-entrepreneurial behavior in large US companies (Sadana and Jidda, 2016). In the third phase, it has been accepted that American experience can not be generalized to different cultures and company sizes, because there are significant discrepancies (Antoncic, 2007). Reviving interest in intrapreneurship, Babić and Zarić (2017) proved the influence of intrapreneurship on the volume of business and investment trend of large companies. Providing opportunities to undertake business initiatives, to access the resources for the realization of innovation and tolerance for mistakes, intrapreneurship allows employees to put themselves in the role of entrepreneurs within large companies.
A set for intrapreneurship measuring containing 10 indicators was created for the needs of this research. The sample included 25 large Serbian companies and the data were collected using a questionnaire with closed answers, together with Likert scales. The sample was divided into 2 segments. The first segment included companies being present on Serbian market from the period before 1991, while the second segment contained companies operating on the same market after 1991. The main purpose of the research was to determine the systematic differences between the segments (Samary, 1988; Ward, 1958) and to explain their causes from the point of view of institutional economics.
