Entrepreneurship Education is a Growth Industry

Hello from New Orleans!
I am down here at a convention of academics known as the Academy of Management. I was shocked to learn this year that of the 17,000 members, ten percent are part of the entrepreneurship division of this august organization. That is amazing to me, given that this is a fairly traditional, corporate-oriented group of faculty. And my own favorite academic group, United States Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE), has grown to almost 800 members.
When a group of academics interested in entrepreneurship got together in the 1980s, we were lucky to get fifty of us together.
It is indeed a new area for business in America.
