Creating a new business or product line within an existing organization is challenging. Look within your current work organization (or one of interest to you) and, taking on the role of an intrapreneur, consider the launch of a new product line. Determine if the product line will be integrated into the existing organization’s legal structure or created as a new entity ( joint venture, subsidiary, etc.). Describe the product or service offering, customer base, competition, management structure, cultural impact on the current organization, and financial support needed to launch the new product line.

Current product offerings. c. Proposed product offering and market . 2. Describe the Customer base. a. Who are the current customers? b.
