Babson College

Leveraging our world leadership role in entrepreneurial management education, Babson weaves innovation into all that we do. Our students learn how to recognize and define the changes critical to growing businesses in a competitive, global marketplace. Our graduates launch startups or lead global enterprises, driving the inspiration to develop new products, processes and markets.

Entrepreneurship is about a lot more than finding the next ‘big idea’ and securing venture capital. Instead, it’s a unique way of thinking and acting that permeates every aspect of how we approach management education, from finance and accounting to marketing and strategic planning. It’s about using proven creative techniques to unearth new business opportunities. It’s about analyzing the costs, risks, and benefits of promising ideas. And, it’s about realization - how to marshal resources to grow ideas from infancy to maturity.

Organizations must engage in breakthrough innovation, a process requiring the courage and an intense engagement for driving change. Our graduates bring an entrepreneurial mindset to the workplace and achieve results. That’s why innovation has long been the heart of the Babson tradition.
