Global Reasearch

Babson College has long been a leader in entrepreneurship research, partnering to conduct the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the Diana Project, and launching Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) project in 2005.

 

Babson, in partnership with the London School of Business, conducts the world’s largest and longest standing, globally focused entrepreneurship research, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). In 2005, we launched the Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) project, which explores the entrepreneurial process within family businesses and practices for building legacies of social and economic wealth across generations.

They are also partners on the Diana Project, a multi-year and multi-university study of female business owners and business growth activities.

Bobson Global

Babson Global’s mission is to put the power of entrepreneurship, as the greatest force for social and economic value creation, in the hands of as many people in the world as they can. Babson Global supplements Babson College’s traditional approach of bringing the world to Babson with a new global strategy of taking Babson to the world.

The organization designs and delivers solutions and services that extend Babson’s globally recognized pedagogy—based on Entrepreneurial Thought and Action®—to new populations, beyond the audience for their current undergraduate, graduate, and executive education programs, through collaborations with educational institutions, foundations, government entities, and NGOs around the world.
