Cruikshank recounts the evolution of entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School and among its graduates - a journey going back more than fifty years and involving many of the most influential business players of the second half of the twentieth century. Detailing dozens of stories of remarkable entrepreneurial ventures and the individuals behind them, Cruikshank describes the unique and powerful network that exists among HBS alumni - an active connection that bridges generations, fields of interest, and wide geographic boundaries."--BOOK JACKET.
