UD to participate in new 'intrapreneur' study

The University of Dayton will be part of a three-year, $2.4 million grant from the Kern Family Foundation to develop ways to educate engineers to contribute to the entrepreneurial cultures of their companies.

“We all know the term ‘entrepreneur,’ but we want to develop ‘intrapreneurs’ as well,” University of Dayton Innovation Center Director Ken Bloemer said. “While entrepreneurs create their own companies, an intrapreneur works within the framework of an existing company as a change agent driving business growth.”
