The purpose of this paper is to review literature related to intrapreneurial culture and find out the positive aspects of having intrapreneurial culture through think tanks in higher education institutes.
Universities are implementing measures to create entrepreneurial climate for the purpose of nurturing the entrepreneurial tendency of students and researchers (Eickelpasch and Fritsch, 2005; Rasmussen and Borch, 2010), one such great example is organizing business plan competitions yearly.
The structure of the article (Figure 2) focuses on the literature related to intrapreneurial culture, enhancing the traits of intrapreneurs through think tanks and the benefits of having intrapreneurial think tanks in higher education.
Think tanks are non-interest based organizations that provide a platform on the intellectual debate to see the bigger picture and rely on intelligence and ideas to influence the policy-making process through theoretically oriented work (Sherrington, 2000; Rich, 2004; Fraussen and Halpin, 2017).
The intrapreneurial think tanks in higher education can utilize already built infrastructure, they produce self-motivated, emotionally stabled, creative, value-focused, and goal-oriented policymakers.
Creating intrapreneurial think tanks in higher educational institutes would help to provide the policy-making system at the micro-level with already built infrastructure and utilizing intrapreneurial intellectual researchers.
