Intrapreneur's Competencies and Skills : Evidence from Mexico

The investigation measures the competencies and abilities of intrapreneurism with a population sample of 235 students. The students attend a master's program in the Accounting and Administration Faculty (FCA) of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (UACH). A survey was conducted in which the following constructs were evaluated: Opportunities Promoter, Proactivity, Flexibility, Business Driver and Risk Assumption. The methodological approach was of a mixed nature including an applied, field test with bibliographic support. The design was non-experimental, transactional and descriptive. Principal components analysis was used. Competencies and intra-entrepreneurial skills were classified into 5 levels. Results show that 7.55% of the students surveyed had a very low level of competencies and intrapreneurial skills, 11.21% had a low level, 18.40% had a medium level, 22.59% had a high level and 40.25% had a very high level. This research is relevant since identifying intrapreneurial skills and competencies in workers generates new projects in organizations
