By the My MBA Career Content Team � Find Top MBA Degree Programs MBAs who go on to start their own companies get more out of business school than an education; they form relationships that keep on giving too.
Use and Value of Resources by Small Business Owners and Nonprofit Leaders is a study that will soon be released by Ventureneer. The work provides insight into how it is MBAs and entrepreneurs learn.
"In spite of the gender stereotype men, as well as women, share � at least when it comes to what's working and what's not in their business," said Geri Stengel. Stengel is the president of Ventureneer. "You'd be surprised how much can be learned when one entrepreneur tells another about a lesson learned or provides a tip on how to do something more efficiently."
MBAs who become entrepreneurs learn from their former classmates and business acquaintances, as they often don't have any traditional colleagues to ask for guidance. The networks these businessmen and women set up while pursuing their MBA degrees represent added value many business schools don't openly advertise.
