Entrepreneurship & Venture Management
The fundamental health of a free enterprise economy depends heavily on entrepreneurs, individuals who take initiative and assume risks in creating new businesses or in developing innovative improvements for existing ones. At this time in America, the entrepreneurial spirit is particularly vital. Virtually all of the net growth in our country's employment since 1975 has come from organizations which did not exist or had fewer than 100 employees ten years ago.
