In addition to the overlap ofcurriculum between standard business education and entrepreneurship education, the businessschool also offers the path of least resistance from an evaluation perspective. Business schoolsdo not have large research expenditures and investments in laboratories and equipment. Theyalso don’t have large research expenditure requirements for faculty. Despite the ostensiblebusiness school focus on commercial success, most faculty have no interest in nor are theyrequired to “pay their way”.

They go beyond this basic capability because they are located in a building, in which they are surrounded by other programs, students, and faculty interested in entrepreneurship.
