Re: [kictanet] kictanet Digest, Vol 49, Issue 62

Dear All, My name is Bob Bell, Ph.D. student from Berkeley. My first post on Kictanet. What is interesting is that in a study of entrepreneurship (in USA) based on 549 company founders in successful businesses in high-growth industries, the average entrepreneur was 40. Check out the media articles here: http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/business-brains/for-entrepreneurs-40-is-the- magic-number/1677 http://money.cnn.com/2009/08/18/smallbusiness/whiz_kid_myth_entrepreneurs.fs b/index.htm The original research is cited here: http://www.kauffman.org/research-and-policy/the-anatomy-of-an-entrepreneur.a spx.
