    HBS Entrepreneurs in Their Own Words

     
    11/3/2003
    The experiences and wisdom of twenty-seven leading entrepreneurs are captured on a new Web page from Harvard Business School.
    by Baker Library Staff

    In almost 100 years of operation, Harvard Business School has helped develop some of the finest entrepreneurs in the world. A new Web page developed by the School's Entrepreneurial Management unit captures and shares the wisdom of twenty-seven of those leading men and women.

    The School's HBS Entrepreneurs page provides text and video interviews with everyone from Landmark Communication's Frank Batten to Intuit's Scott Cook, from DLJ's William Donaldson to VC pioneer Arthur Rock, from Staples' Thomas Stemberg to Goldman Sachs' John Whitehead.

    In videos and text interviews, entrepreneurs talk about their personal and business development, as well the effect HBS had on their lives.

    What is entrepreneurship? Howard Stevenson, the school's Sarofim-Rock Professor of Business Administration, coined the definition used at HBS:

    "The pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled."

    The entrepreneurs featured here have certainly pursued that opportunity with both vigor and success.
