This ensures that employees that are motivated by autonomy, are able to seize opportunities, and can help the business to adapt more quickly to changes in the world. Intrapreneurs can increase business results if they have more freedom to self-manage on a daily basis. However, employees’ goals and needs have to match with business goals. This can be assessed by doing an ABC-analysis for employees’ and the organization.
To manage their own and other people’s behavior, people use reinforcement techniques. The four ways discussed here are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment and negative punishment. Each of them influences results, but they have to be used ethically.
