Entrepreneurism and Large Companies – An Oxymoron?

Recently some colleagues of mine were discussing the topic of being entrepreneurial at a large company. The most obvious questions were if it is possible to be an entrepreneur at a large company and if so, what does that really mean.

There was a good exchange amongst a couple of people, but I found the discussion lacking in diverse thought since the active participants are in the same group and we frequently collaborate. To me this is a bit ironic given that in my opinion, one of the top ways to fuel Entrepreneurship involves collaboration across people with diverse thinking. We did agree that it is possible to be an entrepreneur is a large company is possible.
