Abstract :
One of the most important and efficient ways to adapt organizations to the increasing environmental changes is the “Organizational entrepreneurship” phenomenon. Today, most organizations with an awareness of the importance of organizational entrepreneurship try to identify the factors affecting it in order to measure the organizational entrepreneurship and to take improvement steps. This paper is an attempt to identify the factors affecting Intrapreneurship in a production firm in Tabriz and to measure them. The main aim of this paper is to measure the entrepreneurship rate in the firm under study. Attaining this goal will make it possible to gain access to the sub-goals such as identifying the affecting factors and setting the priority of each factor. A questionnaire has been used for data gathering and its validity and reliability has been confirmed by primary investigations and the experts’ judgements. The limits of the mean were calculated for each factor with 95% of confidence level by using SPSS. At last, the criteria of entrepreneurship were compared by Fridman-Test.
