AN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH PAPER TITLED

“INTRAPRENEURSHIP IN TOURISM”

ABSTRACT

This paper contributes to the development of the theory of Intrapreneurship in relation to tourism by clarifying the Intrapreneurship concept. Intrapreneurship refers to employee initiatives in organizations to undertake something new, without being asked to do so. Major activities related to Intrapreneurship include opportunity perception, idea generation, designing a new product/service or another recombination of resources, internal coalition building, persuading the management, resource acquisition, planning and organizing. Some commendable research work is done in this field clarifying the concept of Intrapreneurship e.g. Intrapreneurship: Conceptualizing intrapreneurial employee behaviour by Jeroen de Jong & Sander Wennekers (2008), Clarifying the Intrapreneurship concept by Bostjan Antoncic and Robert D. Hisrich, Intrapeneurship: An Exploraory Study of Select Norwegian Industries by Alf Steinar Saetre (2001). We would definitely like to take help from these literature.

Keywords: Intrapreneurship, Tourism, Management, Conceptualization.

INTRODUCTION:
The organization today stress its employee “to be more innovative” which means obviously taking risk allowing to try out new things/system which have never been applied before. This requests a fair deal of access to the proper information to minimize that uncertainty before implicating something new.
As the ever-present headaches of trying to balance maximizing profit and margin with investing for growth, it is imperative implementing short-term, high-impact initiatives with long-term, strategic thinking, and planning and focusing on a business a whole.
“Intrapreneurship”, thus, is an interesting concept, but one which is not very sought after. The need for innovation within organizations is a topic of much debate today as entrepreneurship has finally caught the world's attention.

Ana Chavarria, front office manager Case Study

Ana Chavarria, front office manager, has been with The Times Hotel for several years. She recalls her first few months as a time of great stress. There was Milo Diaz, personnel manager, who was always calling her to post her schedules on time and authorize payroll forms. Thomas Brown, executive housekeeper, seemed a great friend off the premises of the hotel, but at work, he continually badgered the front desk clerks on guest check-in and checkout problems. Yoon-Whan Li, executive engineer, also had communication issues with Ana, such as the time when a desk clerk called Yoon-Whan at home to indicate that an elevator was stuck on the fourth floor when it was only manually stopped by a group of children. Eric Jones, food and beverage manager, continued to blame Ana’s desk clerks because hotel guests were not frequenting the dining room and lounge, asking her, “When will the desk clerks ever learn to talk about those free coupons for the dining room and lounge that they so stoically hand...
