        All about Intrapreneurship!
Intrapreneurship is… A special type of entrepreneurship!
Intrapreneurship refers to initiatives by employees in organizations to undertake
new business activities. Intrapreneurship is a special type of entrepreneurship and
thus shares many key behavioral characteristics with this comprehensive
concept, such as taking initiative, pursuit of opportunity, and some element of
'newness'.
Major activities related to intrapreneurship include opportunity perception, idea
generation, designing a new product or another recombination of resources, internal
coalition building, persuading management, resource acquisition, planning and
organizing. Key behavioral aspects of intrapreneurship
are personal initiative, active information search, out of the box
thinking, voicing, championing, taking charge, finding a way, and some degree of risk
12% of EU citizens are entrepreneurs, while the majority are employees.
taking.
Therefore, we should focus on educating them about the benefits of
intrapreneurship for both businesses and individuals and how to act on it.

"A person within a large corporation who takes direct responsibility for turning an
idea into a profitable finished product through assertive risk-taking and innovation“

Romania survival guide
The Royal family: After the 2nd World war, Romania was forced to change from a
Monarchy into a Republic; however, nowadays the Romanian Royal Family is still
respected and their informal role in our society is visible; King Michael of Romania
turned 90 years old in November 2011.

Wine: It might surprise some of you to hear that Romania ranks 10th in the World in
terms of volume of wine production. Romanians pump out nearly half a million tons of
the stuff every year. However, the quality varies significantly. Ask us if you want tips on
who some of the better producers.


Broadband speed: Broadband
availability is still somewhat
low by European standards
but its speed is one of the
best in the world, second only to
South Korea. That makes for a very

24h shops: Fancy anything at any time? We have lots of small shops where you can buy
pretty much everything round the clock.

Romanian food: Romanian traditional foods revolve around meat. Cabbage rolls,
sausages, tripe soup and stews (like tocanita) are popular main dishes. Pork is the main
meat used in Romanian cuisine and the saying goes that "Cea mai buna leguma e
porcul" – "Pork is the best vegetable". But beef is also consumed, and good lamb or fish
dishes are definitely worth a try.
Romania survival guide
Typical street food: Berliners have the Wurst, Londoners have fish&chips,
Romans the pizza, we in Bucharest (oddly enough...) have the “shawarma”.
Don't ask how a middle eastern dish became endemic for Bucharest.
Flowers: When offering flowers as a gift, you should always be careful to
offer them in odd numbers. Even numbers are used for funerals only. That's
why the "dozen roses" concept is a bit weird for us.

                             Payment: Most stores, restaurants, bars etc. will
                             prefer cash payments in Romanian currency
                             'Lei' (RON). Luckily, you can find cash machines
                             everywhere in Bucharest. They rarely accept
                            Euros and credit cards, increasing in
                            coverage, are still not very popular. That said,
                            most large stores and popular restaurants
                            accept card payments. However, it is
                            recommended to check first!

Weather: Summer in Romania is gloriously hot, with temperatures easily
exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. Luckily, it tends to be dry so it rarely becomes
unbearable. Try to stay in the shade, dress lightly and drink plenty of water.
Drivers in Bucharest: One must be very careful as a pedestrian in Bucharest.
Drivers tend to be inconsiderate and often do not obey traffic signals. Don't
assume a car will stop for you at a red light and be vigilant at all times.
Smoking: Romanians smoke a lot and don't really care about those who
don't. Smoking is still allowed in public places.
Travel Tips
A. Flying to Bucharest
Bucharest has good connections with most European capitals and with the largest cities
in Romania, but it can be difficult to find a direct flight to Bucharest from outside
Europe.

Bucharest has one international airport: Henri Coanda International Airport, located in
Otopeni, 18 km north of the city centre. All flights land here.


City transfer from Otopeni airport

Henri Coanda Airport (Otopeni) is serviced by train, buses and taxis. If you come on
another day than the recommended one (19th of July), you will need such info.

We recommend taking a taxi, as it is hands-down the fastest and most comfortable way
to get to the city, costing between 10 and 25 euros. The EUR/RON exchange rate is
roughly 4.5 RON to the EUR.

There is a taxi stand right outside the terminal and a ride into the city costs c.45 RON
(ranging between 30 and 100 RON). You can only pay with local currency, so make sure
you get some cash from the ATM before you exit the terminal. For a safe trip, try calling
us first and we will order you a cab!

There are two bus lines to the city: bus 780 which goes to the main train station Gara
de Nord and bus 783 which heads to downtown. They run from 5:30 AM till 11:00 PM.
Tickets and cards can only be purchased from the booth in front of either the Arrivals or
Departures terminals. You cannot buy tickets from the driver. Remember to validate
your ticket on board the bus. The bus is far superior to the train in terms of both time
and cost.

The train service is called Henri Coanda Expres. Train tickets can be bought inside the
airport at CFR (Romanian Railway Company) ticket counter. The train station is 2 km
away from the airport, but there is a shuttle bus that transfers passengers to it. Once
you reach the train station, there is another 30 minutes until your reach the main train
station Gara de Nord. The train service is available between 6 AM and 11
PM. Counterintuitively, the train is the worst option you could go for...
Some facts about
        the location
Beach resort
Mamaia is the most popular beach resort in Romania.
It is located in the immediate North-East of Constanta.
Mamaia has almost no full-time residents, but it
surely gets populated during summer. It has sandy
beaches and a wide opening to the Black Sea and
Lake Siutghiol.
There are plenty of private beaches with
chaise-longues and umbrellas that will keep you safe!

Temperatures
Prepare for heat! The average temperature of the
water is of 25 degrees Celsius, while the air
temperature reaches a low of 25 degrees (by night)
and a top of 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of the
day. Don’t exaggerate with the sun of Thursday,
avoid exposure to the sun between 11.30-15.00!


Parties
Mamaia is the most popular destination for parties in
summer. It has awesome clubs and the parties start
late in the night and end in the break of dawn. Youth
travels even 300km+ in the weekends just to have a
fabulous time partying.

Recommendations
Bring sun cream! Have money (RON) in cash for clubbing
(payments in euro can’t be made)!



You’ll have access to free WiFi!
The hotel
Golden Tulip, Mamaia
Your participation fee covers accommodation for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening
at Hotel Golden Tulip, a four star hotel. You will enjoy your stay here in a double room
(so if you didn’t tell us who will be your roommate already, please do it ASAP!). If you
need extra accommodation, drop us an e-mail at sjm@jaderomania.org and specify the
number of nights you need extra.




All workshops and conferences will be held at this location.

Golden Tulip Mamaia is located right on the beach, in the northern part of Mamaia
resort, only few meters away from Black Sea, being the first hotel in Romania who gives
attention not only of the youth and families with children but also to those travelling for
business reasons.                             http://www.goldentulipmamaia.com/



                                       Food
                              Meals (lunch and dinner)will be served at “Pizza Sabroso”.
                              We will have Italian food and traditional Romanain food.
                              We will go by buses.
                              Address: Bd. I.C. Bratianu, nr. 48 Constanta
                              http://www.pizzasabroso.com
Parties
Beach party, Mamaia
On the night of your arrival to the beach resort
(19th of July), we will move to a private beach and
celebrate. Bring your international drink and be ready
to share stories about JADE and your country!


Friday & Saturday parties in Bellagio

Romanian parties are like no other. Bring with you some extra energy because you will
be facing big professional challenges by day and heavy partying by night! Bellagio is the
place to be on the Romanian seaside! http://www.bellagioclub.ro/index.php
Travel Tips
Transport within Bucharest

Taxis

Again, we recommend getting around by taxi, as it is very cheap. There are a lot of taxi
companies in Bucharest and you'll easily find a cab here. Avoid taking independent cab
drivers, but use only the services of big taxi companies as these will be cheap and
reliable. Some of the largest taxi companies are: Meridian, Leone, Cristaxi, Tess Taxi,
Cobalcescu, Taxi AS, Taxi 2000, Taxi Total, Mondial, etc. Cars from these companies have
the rates displayed on the door, right under the rear view mirrors. These should range
between 1.3 and 1.8 RON per km. Independent taxis have significantly higher fees. If a
taxi does not display these prices on the door, or if the price is 3.5 RON per km, it is best
not to take it and find another, as you'll probably be charged five to ten times higher
than usual. Also, most of the larger hotels (including the Novotel) have independent
taxi drivers loitering around the entrance - if you want to get somewhere, just get
reception to call you a taxi from one of the large companies.

Metro (Underground)

The metro has four lines (M1, M2, M3, M4) and covers the city quite extensively. It is
usually a cheap and easy way to get around. Maps of the subway can be found on the
Metrorex official site www.metrorex.ro (map on last page).

    Buses, trams and trolleybuses

Bucharest has a very complex network of buses, trams and trolleybuses which is, at first
glance, fairly confusing to the tourist. This is not because of any inconsistencies within
the network, but rather due to the intricate web of hundreds of bus, tram and
trolleybus routes found in the city. Make sure you know the stop you're getting off at -
even though in most trolleybuses and in some modern buses and trams, following stops
are announced automatically and displayed on a screen inside the vehicle. The ticketing
system uses contact-less smart-cards, called Activ cards, which you can buy (you will
need some ID to do that).
Travel Tips
B. Flying to Constanta

Constanta (Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport) is also a popular airport in Romania, with good
connections accross Europe. It is located 25km away from Constanta. It has also the
advantage of being closer to the resort - it will take you about 30-40 minutes by bus to
get to the resort.


Resort transfer from Mihail Kogalniceanu airport

Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport is serviced by taxis. If you come on another day than the
recommended one (19th of July), you will need such information (on the 19th there will
be cars picking you up).

By taxi, the estimated cost of the journey is of 70 RON (15 euro). Try to visit an ATM
before you get on the ride, because they accept only RON.
Contacts you need to know:

Intrapreneurship refers to initiatives by employees in organizations to undertake new business activities. Intrapreneurship is a special type of entrepreneurship and thus shares many key behavioral characteristics with this comprehensive concept, such as taking initiative, pursuit of opportunity, and some element of 'newness'. Major activities related to intrapreneurship include opportunity perception, idea generation, designing a new product or another recombination of resources, internal coalition building, persuading management, resource acquisition, planning and organizing. Key behavioral aspects of intrapreneurship are personal initiative, active information search, out of the box thinking, voicing, championing, taking charge, finding a way, and some degree of risk 12% of EU citizens are entrepreneurs, while the majority are employees. taking.

  • 16. Romania survival guide The Royal family: After the 2nd World war, Romania was forced to change from a Monarchy into a Republic; however, nowadays the Romanian Royal Family is still respected and their informal role in our society is visible; King Michael of Romania turned 90 years old in November 2011. Wine: It might surprise some of you to hear that Romania ranks 10th in the World in terms of volume of wine production. Romanians pump out nearly half a million tons of the stuff every year. However, the quality varies significantly. Ask us if you want tips on who some of the better producers. Broadband speed: Broadband availability is still somewhat low by European standards but its speed is one of the best in the world, second only to South Korea. That makes for a very smooth Internet experience! Cheap taxis: Where else in Europe can you catch a cab and pay less than 5 Euro from the centre to the most remote place of the capital? 24h shops: Fancy anything at any time? We have lots of small shops where you can buy pretty much everything round the clock. Romanian food: Romanian traditional foods revolve around meat. Cabbage rolls, sausages, tripe soup and stews (like tocanita) are popular main dishes. Pork is the main meat used in Romanian cuisine and the saying goes that "Cea mai buna leguma e porcul" – "Pork is the best vegetable". But beef is also consumed, and good lamb or fish dishes are definitely worth a try.
  • 17. Romania survival guide Typical street food: Berliners have the Wurst, Londoners have fish&chips, Romans the pizza, we in Bucharest (oddly enough...) have the “shawarma”. Don't ask how a middle eastern dish became endemic for Bucharest. Flowers: When offering flowers as a gift, you should always be careful to offer them in odd numbers. Even numbers are used for funerals only. That's why the "dozen roses" concept is a bit weird for us. Payment: Most stores, restaurants, bars etc. will prefer cash payments in Romanian currency 'Lei' (RON). Luckily, you can find cash machines everywhere in Bucharest. They rarely accept Euros and credit cards, increasing in coverage, are still not very popular. That said, most large stores and popular restaurants accept card payments. However, it is recommended to check first! Weather: Summer in Romania is gloriously hot, with temperatures easily exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. Luckily, it tends to be dry so it rarely becomes unbearable. Try to stay in the shade, dress lightly and drink plenty of water. Drivers in Bucharest: One must be very careful as a pedestrian in Bucharest. Drivers tend to be inconsiderate and often do not obey traffic signals. Don't assume a car will stop for you at a red light and be vigilant at all times. Smoking: Romanians smoke a lot and don't really care about those who don't. Smoking is still allowed in public places.
  • 18. Travel Tips A. Flying to Bucharest Bucharest has good connections with most European capitals and with the largest cities in Romania, but it can be difficult to find a direct flight to Bucharest from outside Europe. Bucharest has one international airport: Henri Coanda International Airport, located in Otopeni, 18 km north of the city centre. All flights land here. City transfer from Otopeni airport Henri Coanda Airport (Otopeni) is serviced by train, buses and taxis. If you come on another day than the recommended one (19th of July), you will need such info. We recommend taking a taxi, as it is hands-down the fastest and most comfortable way to get to the city, costing between 10 and 25 euros. The EUR/RON exchange rate is roughly 4.5 RON to the EUR. There is a taxi stand right outside the terminal and a ride into the city costs c.45 RON (ranging between 30 and 100 RON). You can only pay with local currency, so make sure you get some cash from the ATM before you exit the terminal. For a safe trip, try calling us first and we will order you a cab! There are two bus lines to the city: bus 780 which goes to the main train station Gara de Nord and bus 783 which heads to downtown. They run from 5:30 AM till 11:00 PM. Tickets and cards can only be purchased from the booth in front of either the Arrivals or Departures terminals. You cannot buy tickets from the driver. Remember to validate your ticket on board the bus. The bus is far superior to the train in terms of both time and cost. The train service is called Henri Coanda Expres. Train tickets can be bought inside the airport at CFR (Romanian Railway Company) ticket counter. The train station is 2 km away from the airport, but there is a shuttle bus that transfers passengers to it. Once you reach the train station, there is another 30 minutes until your reach the main train station Gara de Nord. The train service is available between 6 AM and 11 PM. Counterintuitively, the train is the worst option you could go for...
  • 19. Some facts about the location Beach resort Mamaia is the most popular beach resort in Romania. It is located in the immediate North-East of Constanta. Mamaia has almost no full-time residents, but it surely gets populated during summer. It has sandy beaches and a wide opening to the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol. There are plenty of private beaches with chaise-longues and umbrellas that will keep you safe! Temperatures Prepare for heat! The average temperature of the water is of 25 degrees Celsius, while the air temperature reaches a low of 25 degrees (by night) and a top of 40 degrees Celsius in the middle of the day. Don’t exaggerate with the sun of Thursday, avoid exposure to the sun between 11.30-15.00! Parties Mamaia is the most popular destination for parties in summer. It has awesome clubs and the parties start late in the night and end in the break of dawn. Youth travels even 300km+ in the weekends just to have a fabulous time partying. Recommendations Bring sun cream! Have money (RON) in cash for clubbing (payments in euro can’t be made)! You’ll have access to free WiFi!
  • 20. The hotel Golden Tulip, Mamaia Your participation fee covers accommodation for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at Hotel Golden Tulip, a four star hotel. You will enjoy your stay here in a double room (so if you didn’t tell us who will be your roommate already, please do it ASAP!). If you need extra accommodation, drop us an e-mail at sjm@jaderomania.org and specify the number of nights you need extra. All workshops and conferences will be held at this location. Golden Tulip Mamaia is located right on the beach, in the northern part of Mamaia resort, only few meters away from Black Sea, being the first hotel in Romania who gives attention not only of the youth and families with children but also to those travelling for business reasons. http://www.goldentulipmamaia.com/ Food Meals (lunch and dinner)will be served at “Pizza Sabroso”. We will have Italian food and traditional Romanain food. We will go by buses. Address: Bd. I.C. Bratianu, nr. 48 Constanta http://www.pizzasabroso.com
  • 21. Parties Beach party, Mamaia On the night of your arrival to the beach resort (19th of July), we will move to a private beach and celebrate. Bring your international drink and be ready to share stories about JADE and your country! Friday & Saturday parties in Bellagio Romanian parties are like no other. Bring with you some extra energy because you will be facing big professional challenges by day and heavy partying by night! Bellagio is the place to be on the Romanian seaside! http://www.bellagioclub.ro/index.php
  • 22. Travel Tips Transport within Bucharest Taxis Again, we recommend getting around by taxi, as it is very cheap. There are a lot of taxi companies in Bucharest and you'll easily find a cab here. Avoid taking independent cab drivers, but use only the services of big taxi companies as these will be cheap and reliable. Some of the largest taxi companies are: Meridian, Leone, Cristaxi, Tess Taxi, Cobalcescu, Taxi AS, Taxi 2000, Taxi Total, Mondial, etc. Cars from these companies have the rates displayed on the door, right under the rear view mirrors. These should range between 1.3 and 1.8 RON per km. Independent taxis have significantly higher fees. If a taxi does not display these prices on the door, or if the price is 3.5 RON per km, it is best not to take it and find another, as you'll probably be charged five to ten times higher than usual. Also, most of the larger hotels (including the Novotel) have independent taxi drivers loitering around the entrance - if you want to get somewhere, just get reception to call you a taxi from one of the large companies. Metro (Underground) The metro has four lines (M1, M2, M3, M4) and covers the city quite extensively. It is usually a cheap and easy way to get around. Maps of the subway can be found on the Metrorex official site www.metrorex.ro (map on last page).  Buses, trams and trolleybuses Bucharest has a very complex network of buses, trams and trolleybuses which is, at first glance, fairly confusing to the tourist. This is not because of any inconsistencies within the network, but rather due to the intricate web of hundreds of bus, tram and trolleybus routes found in the city. Make sure you know the stop you're getting off at - even though in most trolleybuses and in some modern buses and trams, following stops are announced automatically and displayed on a screen inside the vehicle. The ticketing system uses contact-less smart-cards, called Activ cards, which you can buy (you will need some ID to do that).
  • 23. Travel Tips B. Flying to Constanta Constanta (Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport) is also a popular airport in Romania, with good connections accross Europe. It is located 25km away from Constanta. It has also the advantage of being closer to the resort - it will take you about 30-40 minutes by bus to get to the resort. Resort transfer from Mihail Kogalniceanu airport Mihail Kogalniceanu Airport is serviced by taxis. If you come on another day than the recommended one (19th of July), you will need such information (on the 19th there will be cars picking you up). By taxi, the estimated cost of the journey is of 70 RON (15 euro). Try to visit an ATM before you get on the ride, because they accept only RON.
