    My apologies for cross-posting

    Colleagues -

    For all those interested in entrepreneurship education, I would like to "introduce" you to Quipu (https://quipuapps.com/).

    Quipu holds the promise of changing the paradigm of entrepreneurship education to allow every educator to teach through entrepreneurship instead of about entrepreneurship, and to allow every student to actually practice entrepreneurship instead of just learn about it.  Quipu offers easy-to-use, comprehensive mobile and cloud solutions for business modeling (Business Model Canvas and the customer development process), business planning, feasibility analysis, financial analysis (proforma and historical), and strategy analysis (SWOT, Porter, BCG, GE-McKinsey).  By using this suite of tools, Quipu has created a web and mobile software that enable entrepreneurship educators to create, integrate, and develop curricula and co-curricular educational experiences for use in the higher education classroom that includes, but is not limited to, strategic planning, business model development, opportunity recognition, product entry, intellectual property, project management, legal requirements, business planning, and business constraints. 

     

    In short, Quipu offers a platform to engage students like never before using the technology they want to use and the tools and methods we professors want to use.  It's a perfect marriage of active student participation and learning enhancement!

    I am very excited about the promise Quipu holds for my classrooms, and for the whole of entrepreneurship education.  If you're interested in invigorating your classroom with experiential learning, I would strongly suggest you investigate the solutions Quipu has to offer. 

    If you are in Boston for the AOM meetings, George Ritchie is here with Quipu and would welcome the opportunity to give you a demo or answer any questions.  You can contact him directly at 610-570-9890 or George@quipuapps.com.

    Thank you for your time, and I promise you won't regret spending a few minutes to learn about Quipu - it will change your and your students' experiences!

    College Summary:

    Babson College, located 14 miles west of Boston, is an independent school of management that takes a unique approach to preparing undergraduates, graduate students, and working professionals for the challenges of the modern business world.  Babson's dynamic curriculum focuses on developing skills that transcend business so that students gain multidimensional abilities and can make important contributions to business and society.   Our students understand that economic and social value creation are not mutually exclusive, but instead are integral to each other. The fundamental business skills and entrepreneurial mindset they cultivate at Babson equip them to make a difference on campus and around the world. 

    Babson has nearly 2,000 full-time undergraduate students and more than 1,300 full and part-time graduate students.  Our highly diverse student body hails from 45 U.S. states and 57 countries.  Non-U.S. students comprise more than 20% of undergraduate students and more than 40% of our full time graduate students.  Babson offers a Bachelor of Science degree, MS and MBA programs, and executive education programs worldwide.

    We seek faculty who are aligned with our values of teaching excellence, collaboration, diversity and inclusiveness, and those who embrace our mission to educate leaders who create great economic and social value everywhere.  We seek candidates who are eager to engage as educators among a diverse student community.

    College-wide Faculty Requirements:

    We are looking for an accomplished teacher/scholar who:

    ·                     Is passionate about teaching  and who has a proven track record of teaching excellence and innovative curriculum development

    ·                     Brings depth in scholarly or practical expertise that will add to the intellectual community of the College.

    ·                     Is a team player, willing to lead and collaborate with faculty from multiple disciplines to design and teach courses in an integrated, cross-disciplinary context.

    The candidate should be engaged in rigorous research that is practically relevant to business managers.
