Among the thousands of business schools now operating around the world you would be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't believe it can teach the skills of entrepreneurship. However, of the people who immediately ____1____ to mind when one thinks of entrepreneurs——Bill Gates, Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey, for example—few have done more than ____2____ a speech at a business school. ____3____ , a recent study by King's College in London has suggested what many intuitively ____4____ : that entrepreneurship may actually be in the blood—more to do with genes than classroom experience. All of which ____5____ the question—does an entrepreneur really need a business-school education? Not surprisingly some of the best-known schools in the field have a ____6____ answer to this: they don't actually profess to create entrepreneurs, ____7____ they nurture innate ability. Or as Timothy Faley of the entrepreneurial institute at Michigan's Ross School of Business ____8____ it: "A good idea is not enough. You need to know how to ____9____ a good idea into a good business." Schools do this in a number of ways. One is to ____10____ that faculty are a mix of classic academics and businesspeople with experience of ____11____ their own successful firms. They can also create "incubators" where students ____12____ ideas and rub shoulders on a day-to-day basis with the external business world, receiving both advice and hard cash in the form of investment. Arguably such help is now more important than ever. The modern entrepreneur is faced with a more ____13____ world than when Richard Branson began by selling records out of a phone box. According to Patrice Houdayer, head of one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurship schools, EMIYON in France, new businesses used to move through a ____14____ series of growth steps—what he terms garage, local, national and international. Now however, ____15____ the communications revolution, they can leapfrog these stages and go global more or less straightaway—encountering a whole new ____16____ of problems and challenges. In this ____17____ Professor Houdayer maintains that the increasingly ____18____ nature of MBA classes can help the nascent entrepreneur in three ways: by plugging them into an international network of contacts and advisors, by preparing them for the pitfalls and opportunities ____19____ with dealing across different cultures and by ____20____ them to the different ways that business is conducted around the globe.
