%X This article aims to identify and analyze the intrapreneurial actions, profile, and characteristics of the administrators for undergraduate courses of Accounting Sciences in the western region of Paran¨¢. Thus, the research question was formulated: What are the intrapreneurial characteristics and the main actions of the Accounting course adminis trators in the western region of Paran¨¢?The method used was descriptive research in the form of a survey and, for data collection, a questionnaire, from Mastella (2005) and Dornelas (2003), adapted by Walter et al. (2007). Among the main results, it was found that the managers are men, mostly over 50 years of age, with the title of specialist or master, and whose principal tie is to the institution in which they operate. It was noted that most of the actions undertaken by the managers have demonstrated an internal bent, a fact that should be the object of reflection, once those actions considered of the greatest import by managers are often the least carried out. Therefore, little time dedicated to management, discrepancies between desired actions and those which are effectively carried out, and too much internal focus behind their actions are aspects which should be improved by the managers who were surveyed. All the respondents show intrapreneurial characteristics. There is a perceptible need for greater clarity in the dialogue between managers and their superiors for a greater alignment relative to the current performance of managers. It is also noted that issues such as reconciliation of teaching / management hours still requires improvement.
