By recruiting entrepreneurs into the MBA program, business schools can also diversify the professional experience in the classroom, offering hands on learning from the coalface. Kamm Kartchner is a good example. Raised in a small town in Arizona, he worked in construction to pay his way through school, and ultimately turned his college job into a small company of his own.
He's not your conventional MBA student, but wanted a formal business education, and the chance to build a network that would help him with future ventures. "I knew I wanted to be involved with international business, and INSEAD was an obvious choice. Theoretically I can do business anywhere, and instantly have contacts."
In this video interview he shares his thoughts on what has he learned from the MBA that he can take with him in his next entrepreneurial steps.
