Research
For policy makers seeking good, applicable research in which to ground policy initiatives, London Business School should be the first point of reference. To achieve this, Entrepreneurship has built a research programme characterised by rigour and relevance. Translating research into action lies at the heart of our programme. Good research should make a public difference.
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project, led jointly by London Business School and Babson College and covering 42 countries, explores and provides quantitative analysis to establish and measure the relationship between economic growth and entrepreneurial activity.
