5.6 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Entrepreneurship has become the second most popular specialisation at leading business schools. TopMBA Applicant Survey reveals that, on average, 27% of MBA applicants seek to run their own business after graduation. Many of these individuals focus on
entrepreneurial management whilst at business school, learning how to evaluate business opportunities, write business plans, and forge a network, which can help them succeed in business.

In the USA, Stanford, Wharton, Harvard, MIT and Babson reign supreme in this field. Employers often look for budding entrepreneurs to bring the entrepreneurial spirit to the corporate environment, and so recruiters look carefully for the best entrepreneurial departments.

In Europe, IE - Instituto de Empresa has for many years chosen to make entrepreneurship at the heart of its MBA and came top overall in this specialisation, for the first time, in our 2007 research. INSEAD and London Business School are the leaders in this field, investing in promoting start-ups and linking students with venture capitalists. EM Lyon has the largest business incubator in the region, whilst Judge Business School and Tanaka Business School at Imperial College are also investing heavily in business incubation.
