The Stanford
Graduate School of Business, with a faculty that includes three
Nobel laureates, has established itself as a global leader in
management education and has built an international reputation
based on educational programs designed to develop insightful,
principled global leaders.
Early classes
in entrepreneurship were launched in the 1980s, followed in 1996
by creation of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. In the
1990s, as the dot.com era created an unprecedented boom in the
surrounding Silicon Valley, the Graduate School of Business
created a Center for Electronic Business and Commerce, announcing
it would exist for five years before being disbanded as the topic
became a ubiquitous part of the curriculum.
