“Finnish educators and researchers are part of a group of leading scholars from around the globe that are examining the important questions of entrepreneurship education,” said Corbett, the faculty director of Babson’s Butler Institute for Free Enterprise Through Entrepreneurship.
Corbett added, “It was great to share ideas with them and bring them some of my latest work on what comprises an entrepreneurial mindset, how the entrepreneurial mindset develops, and how we can teach it effectively.”
