Introduction- what is an entrepreneur or intrapreneur?

•  More and more articles speak about project management and entrepreneurship.

•  “Entrepreneurship spirit” is more and more requested in job descriptions.

•  Every project manager can become self employed over a career. According to The Freelancer’s Union, one in three Americans (roughly 42 million) is an independent worker.

And by 2020, many predict that freelancers will make up 50% of the labor force.
