• Determine the environment needed for beneficial intrapreneurial activities. Do this by devising a minimum of three principles you believe are the foundation for a beneficial intrapreneurial environment.
• The two articles Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs During Covid-19Links to an external site. and Effects of the Pandemic Crisis on Entrepreneurship and Sustainable DevelopmentLinks to an external site. provided suggest there is an estimated 70% failure rate for an organization's change implementation efforts. Based on what you know about intrapreneurial activities, defend the use of nimble change management techniques to reduce the estimated 70% failure rate.

Offer a link to a video or an article that provides additional information about intrapreneurs as change agents, as well as effective change management procedures.
