Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship can mean starting a business but it may also mean acting with the perspective of an owner of a business, whether you are managing it, advising it, or investing in it. For over 40 years we have produced graduates with a sense of ownership, a bias toward innovation, and who are comfortable with technology. Entrepreneurship is our way of addressing the issues faced by all general managers, the need to understand how organizations operate and how specific management functions fit together.

Search Funds
Conceived in 1984, the search fund is an investment vehicle in which investors financially support an entrepreneurâs efforts to locate and acquire a privately held company. Recent MBA and law school graduates are using this approach more and more frequently to become entrepreneurs shortly after graduation, despite their lack of operating experience. Details
