Abstract
Intrapreneurship holders are entrepreneurial employees who develop entrepreneurial activities within the existing enterprises, which in turn produces improved business performances. However, in order for entrepreneurial employees to act and release their creative energy, it is necessary to provide the specific organizational requirements. Specifically, the rigid traditional organizational structures and bureaucratic approach to job design, which is often inherent in large enterprises, are not suitable infrastructures for developing entrepreneurial climate in the organization. Consequently, the identification and analysis of the dominant type of organizational structure as well as the degree of centralization and formalization and the degree of specialization and application of teamwork in Bosnian companies, in light of ensuring organizational assumptions for the development of intrapreneurship in these companies, are only some of the goals of this paper. This analysis will be based on the results of the empirical research conducted back in 2011, which covered a hundred of Bosnian companies, and also on the results of the GEM research back in 2011. This paper will include both the presentation and debate on the basic obstacles to the development of stronger Bosnian intrapreneurship in companies, but also recommendations regarding the content of the organizational changes that should be undertaken for this purpose.
