While existing literature has extensively studied ICV at the organizational level, research on individual‐level processes remains limited, particularly regarding intrapreneurs' identity‐related conflicts over time. However, to design programs and interventions that unlock employees' creative potential and promote innovation, it is crucial to understand these individual dynamics. We conducted an 18‐month longitudinal study of 21 intrapreneurs within an ICV program, developing a process model and theory of intrapreneurs' identity work. We find that aspiring intrapreneurs construct an “idealized entrepreneur identity” that fundamentally conflicts with their employee identity. To maintain a coherent sense of self, they either safeguard their emerging entrepreneur identity by denying corporate dependence and eventually opposing the organization or they realign with their employee role, forsaking their intrapreneurial aspirations. These findings challenge the implicit assumption of a distinct intrapreneur identity, demonstrating how and why intrapreneurs struggle to construct a coherent and positively valued identity as intrapreneurs. We term this phenomenon the <jats:italic>intrapreneur identity illusion</jats:italic> and highlight its detrimental effects for both individuals and organizations. Our research contributes to understanding the individual‐level foundations of corporate entrepreneurship and offers broader implications for innovation management.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","type":"journal_article","publication":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","article_number":"jpim.12798","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"60947","user_id":"100439","department":[{"_id":"371"}]},{"date_created":"2025-08-19T08:38:59Z","publisher":"Wiley","title":"Unveiling the Impact of Cultural Value Orientations on Ideation Outcomes: Evidence From the International #<scp>EUvsVirus</scp> Hackathon","issue":"4","year":"2025","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"R&amp;D Management","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>This study addresses the role of national culture in shaping hackathon teams' ideation outcomes. Drawing on the innovation and creativity literature and Schwartz’ theory of cultural value orientations, we propose that hierarchical values decrease the quality of ideas that teams develop over the course of a hackathon and that intellectual autonomy and mastery improve it. Using archival data, including pitch presentations from an international hackathon and data on cultural value orientations, we compiled a sample of 308 teams to investigate the influence of cultural value orientations and employed linear mixed‐effects regression analysis to test our hypotheses. We found that hierarchical cultural values are negatively associated with the quality of ideas, which suggests that hackathon teams that operate in such cultures suffer from a “liability of hierarchy.” We also found that teams from societies that emphasize mastery of the natural and social environment are more likely than other teams are to develop high‐quality ideas to tackle the (grand) challenges that hackathons address. We found no relationship between intellectual autonomy and idea quality. The study findings support the notion that culture manifests in hackathon teams' behavior and so shapes the quality of ideas they develop, thus laying the foundation for success or failure.</jats:p>"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Krebs, Benjamin P.","last_name":"Krebs","first_name":"Benjamin P."},{"first_name":"Marieke","full_name":"Funck, Marieke","last_name":"Funck"},{"last_name":"Tomin","full_name":"Tomin, Slawa","id":"29570","first_name":"Slawa"},{"first_name":"Bernhard","full_name":"Wach, Bernhard","last_name":"Wach"},{"first_name":"Rüdiger","last_name":"Kabst","full_name":"Kabst, Rüdiger","id":"42362"}],"volume":55,"date_updated":"2025-08-19T08:39:34Z","doi":"10.1111/radm.12752","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0033-6807","1467-9310"]},"citation":{"short":"B.P.
