SUCCESS STORY OF A START-UP BUSINESS OR ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Hearing other entrepreneurs' small business success stories can often inspire and give great guidance to those who are just starting out. The success story is about Harvard Business School

Back some years ago in 19^th century, Harvard Business School marked an important milestone. For 50 years, the School had waded through the rough waters of analyzing, defining, and teaching and learning about entrepreneurship. The journey began when Professor Myles Mace (MBA 38) first offered a course to returning World War II veterans titled Management of Small Enterprises. The success story begins after fifty year when the entrepreneurship became a vital component of the MBA program. Through these fifty years the School has untold many extraordinary stories in this journey and this became the inspiration for Shaping the Waves: A History of Entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School (HBS Press).

In the mid of 1998, three young Harvard Business School graduates including two men and one woman turned down six figure salaries at the rise of big corporations.  By their ten-year reunion, their audacity had paid huge dividends. They'd made many millions of dollars, created hundreds of jobs—and left their mark on the world.

Crossing different interviews with highly successful entrepreneurs, Harvard Business School professors, and HBS alumni, The Intelligent Entrepreneur tells the compelling and instructive story of how these three young founders developed ideas, assembled teams, built ventures, and achieved their dreams. Because of what they teach you at Harvard Business School with the experience of a ferocious work and good timing, you can also be the next intelligent and successful entrepreneur.
