M.I.T.'s Professor Ken Zolot visit with students at D.C.S.E.

In advance of the 2011 Yuva Summit and Development Dialogue, Professor Ken Zolot met with students on the D.C.S.E. campus. Professor Zolot is a Senior Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) School of Engineering. He teaches entrepreneurship and is also the founder of M.I.T.’s “Innovation Teams” Initiative.

Prof. Zolot conducted an activity with students to illustrate the important distinction between entrepreneurship and business management. A business manager will start with a goal and then will collect and structure resources in order to achieve that goal. In comparison, an entrepreneur might first consider all of the resources at his/her disposal and then experiment with them to create something undetermined.

We don’t want to give away the specifics of the activity as we plan on using it with more students in the future! It was effective in delivering its message about entrepreneurship and business management and the Entrepreneurship Academy thanks Professor Zolot for his time and experience.
