Is being an entrepreneur caused by something in your DNA, or it can be trained? A new study from Babson College found evidence of "extraordinary", which is that if the students of Business Faculty take at least two courses of entrepreneurship, it can positively influence them to start a business.

College professor in Wellesley, who was in Massachusetts, analyzed a 3755 survey of alumni, and he finds that two entrepreneurial courses (or better yet three sessions) greatly affect a student's decision to build a start-up. In addition, he also saw that the business-plan writing can give effect to that direction, although not very significant.

"Now it's time to discard skeptical question, “Is it necessary to learn entrepreneurship?”, because now we have empirical evidence that makes a difference perspective. We feel that entrepreneurship should be taught not only for training of entrepreneurs, but also to help students decide whether they have the right 'capital' to become an entrepreneur, before they start a career which may not be suitable for them, " said the Professor, in his research entitled Does An Entrepreneurship Education Have Lasting Value? A Study of Careers of 3,775 Alumni".

The study also found that there was no effect whether the student has a parent an entrepreneur or not. Also found that men were more likely to become entrepreneurs than women. He also found a pattern, ie the higher the income, the less likely the alumni intend to become entrepreneurs. On the other hand also found that the greater their dissatisfaction with the job, the more likely that the alumni have the intention to become entrepreneurs.

"At a more abstract level, we believe that entrepreneurship should be taught to every student of Faculty of Business, because entrepreneurship is the origin of all business," wrote the Professor. "There will be no business school, if there was never any entrepreneur!" he continued.

A study in 2002 at Harvard Business School also showed that if you can convince students that they have the capital needed to run a business, they will plunge to be an entrepreneur.

Harvard professor, Howard H. Stevenson, explains, "If you consider that most of our students are making opportunity, achievement-oriented, intelligent and hard working (they have been admitted in evidence here), then the action that we do is give them the 'tools' and techniques to improve their chances of success.
