Why should small business issues receive more attention in classrooms?
Two-thirds of college students intend to be entrepreneurs at some point in their careers; however, business school textbooks stress large rather than small firm examples, something that has frustrated many students after graduation.Individuals with more education are more likely to become entrepreneurs, and they are also more likely to open a business employing more people. Classrooms, both within and beyond schools of business, are filled with potential innovators. The key is to provide the necessary skills that will allow them to foster these talents and start new businesses.Sources: Students in Free Enterprise; Advocacy Focus Groups.
