Businesses today wears many hats, it adapts to challenges and reacts in many different ways to capitalise on the opportunities it discovers along its lifetime. The entrepreneurs that run the various functions of the business come with a certain set of skills but there are challenging times when they inject the existing system with new spirit.

One will also see that the sales leaders are constantly evolving to the dynamically
changing environments they have to operate within. The study explores how intrapreneurship can attempt to bridge the gap between the commercial insight and consumer insight needed for current & future business leaders while discovering
new growth or sustained growth. This is a conscious attempt to show the relevance of corporate entrepreneurship to sales leadership roles with a three pronged approach.
