For the past four days I have been attending the Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators organised by Babson College, Massachusetts (ranked no. 1 graduate school by The Princeton Review for it's 2010 Entrepreneurial Programs) and Graduate School of Management, UPM. The courses were conducted by Professor Mark P. Rice, the Frederic C. Hamilton Professor for Free Enterprise. It was quite an engaging experience and I learn a lot about entrepreneurship. I like the fact that entrepreneurship is not just about making money by exploring new opportunity, being innovative and taking risks but can also helps in creating a better world, and this can even be applied to a non-profit making entity. This is something that I will definitely use when pitching for something that is not really profit driven but on how you can contribute back to the society.
