Study Focuses on Regional Entrepreneurship Michael Camp, academic director of the Center for Entrepreneurship, recently conducted a study for the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Edward Lowe Foundation. The study, The Innovation-Entrepreneurship NEXUS, was written by Camp's consulting firm Advanced Research Technologies and demonstrates that innovation without entrepreneurship generally yields minimal economic impact. It also developed the Regional Entrepreneurship Index that assesses the dynamic nature of entrepreneurship within regions. Regions that score high on this index are most active in creating and supporting new firms as well as building a strong base of support for entrepreneurs. Glenwood Springs, Colo., was noted as the nation's most entrepreneurial region. For more information, click here. Back to Top
Clinic for Professional Services Provides Project Consulting to Area Businesses Fisher students are getting practice in theory and real-world experience thanks to the Clinic for Professional Services Leadership, a student-run consulting firm that works for central Ohio businesses providing strategic business consulting. The program is run through the Fisher College MBA program. “We are looking for opportunities to put students on real consulting projects,” said Jim Lane, director of the Clinic for Professional Services Leadership. MBA students run the Clinic, which offers two main types of service: operations reviews of small businesses called reImagine and special requests like improvements to supply chains, financing, marketing and logistics of larger businesses. reImagine offers operations reviews of small businesses involving brainstorming of new ideas to improve and expand processes and overall growth of the business. “I see [the Clinic for Professional Services Leadership] as an integral part of the business school – much like the medical center is to the medical school,” Lane said. Projects last approximately 10-12 weeks, and the Clinic’s client list includes Limited Brands, Michael Freres and Associates, American Electric Power, as well as Readers Digest. Of the approximately 300 MBA students currently enrolled, 40 are on staff for the Clinic, selected after a rigorous application process. “We help students get a greater appreciation of problem solving by applying creative solutions,” Lane said.
