Entrepreneurship
Many people soley associate entrepreneurship with the process of new business formation; while many entrepreneurs do start new businesses, it extends well beyond that. Entrepreneurs create value in all organizations. The Babson definition of entreprenereurship is, "a way of thinking and acting that is opportunity obsessed, holistic in approach, and leadership balanced." Students develop a broad-based entrepreneurial skill relevant to any organization – start-up, established, and for and not-for profit – in an industry.
