Begining from the second half of the 1980s the concept of intrapreneurship found an intense interest in the academic and business fields. It is seen that numerous academic studies which are related with intrapreneurship have been done during that time. Although intraprenurship is attempted to be defined in different ways, the most general sense of intrapreneurship is considered to be entrepreneurship within an existing organization. In this sense, intrapreneurship is regarded as individuals‘ being involved in the form of entrepreneurial activities within an existing organization. In this study, firstly we defined the concept of intrapreneurship then information about the requirements and dimensions of intrapreneurship, process of creating intrapreneursship, comparison of executives and intrapreneurship, motivation of intrapreneurship, differences of domestic and foreign entrepreneurs and intrapreneurship in SMEs. Finally we were measure intrapreneurship in SMEs by questionnaire at our last part of study.
