FT最有助創業MBA課程排行榜出爐

Stanford’s MBA programme is best for entrepreneurship, an indicator created by the Financial Times reveals. Five other schools from the US, three from Europe and one from China complete the top 10.

英國《金融時報》》公佈的一項排行榜顯示，斯坦福大學(Stanford)的MBA課程是最佳創業課程。除該校外，排行榜的前十名還包括美國的其他五所院校、歐洲的三所院校以及中國的一所院校。

Using data collected for the Global MBA ranking 2015, the FT used 10 criteria to judge the best MBA programmes for budding entrepreneurs. The criteria included the percentage of graduates who created their own company, the percentage of companies still operating at the end of 2014, whether it was their main source of income and how the school and the alumni network helped set things up.

英國《金融時報》利用爲2015年全球MBA課程排行榜收集的數據，用10項指標評選面向初出茅廬的企業家的最優秀MBA課程。這些指標包括畢業生自創公司的比例、在2014年底仍在運營的公司的比例、創業公司是否是畢業生收入主要來源，以及學校和校友網絡幫助畢業生創業的程度。

Graduates from Stanford particularly praise the transformational experience they went through. “I never anticipated starting my own business before starting my MBA,” says one graduate.

斯坦福大學的畢業生對他們經歷的具有變革意義的學習體驗尤爲讚賞。一名畢業生表示：“在我開始攻讀MBA之前，我從未想過會創辦自己的公司。”

“However, the entrepreneurial spirit that the school instilled in me and the support provided has allowed me to achieve something I never anticipated.”

“然而，這所學校灌輸給我的創業精神以及提供的支持，讓我取得了以前從未想過的成就。”

Indeed, the level of support provided by Stanford and its alumni network in helping with starting a business and financing it is rated far above average (8.0 out of 10 compared with 5.9). As a result, 40 per cent of students created their own company during or since graduating, nearly twice the overall average at 22 per cent.

實際上，在提供支持、幫助創辦公司以及爲公司融資這項指標上，斯坦福大學及其校友網絡的得分遠遠超出平均水平（總分10分，斯坦福得分8.0分，平均分爲5.9分）。因此該學院有40%的學生在學習期間或畢業後創辦了自己的公司，是平均水平（22%）的近兩倍。

In the US, it is a face-off between California and Massachusetts for the title of the most entrepreneurial state, with three schools from each featuring in the top 10. California comes significantly ahead: after Stanford in first place it has USD School of Business Administration and USC Marshall School Business in third and fourth place respectively. While MIT Sloan School of Management is Massachusetts’ highest representative in second place, ahead of Harvard and Babson College in fifth and eight position.

在美國，加利福尼亞州與馬薩諸塞州在爭奪“最具創業精神州”頭銜方面不相上下，兩州各有三所院校躋身十強。加州強勢領先：除了排名第一的斯坦福大學，聖迭戈大學工商管理學院(USD School of Business Administration)和南加州大學馬歇爾商學院(USC Marshall School Business)分別排在第三和第四位。麻省理工學院斯隆管理學院(MIT Sloan School of Management)是馬薩諸塞州排名最高的代表，位居第二，領先於哈佛大學（Harvard，排名第五）和巴布森商學院（Babson College，排名第八）。

Shanghai’s Fudan School of Management is ranked sixth. Location is everything, it seems. The school’s campus in the heart of China’s economic capital offers enormous potential to founders.

上海復旦大學管理學院(Fudan School of Management)排名第六。地理位置似乎決定一切。該學院的校區設在中國經濟之都的核心，爲企業創始人提供了巨大的潛在機會。

The same applies to the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, in seventh position. It is the sole representative for the UK and benefits from two active entrepreneurial centres that regularly bring in experts from the City.

這一原則同樣適用於排名第七的牛津大學(Oxford)薩伊德商學院(Saïd Business School)。該學院是英國的唯一代表，受益於兩個活躍的創業中心，後者定期從倫敦金融城招募專家。

In ninth position, Belgium’s Vlerick is probably the most unexpected entry but its alumni would certainly approve. When asked to rate the different aspects of the programme, entrepreneurship came a long way ahead of all other fields.

排名第九的比利時弗萊裏克管理學院(Vlerick)或許是最意外的上榜院校，但該學院的校友肯定會對上榜表示贊同。在被要求對該學院課程的不同指標打分時，創業精神的得分遠遠領先於所有其他指標。

Spain’s Esade Business School completes the top 10, with the school’s Entrepreneurship Institute providing students with the resources and space they need.

西班牙艾賽德商學院(Esade Business School)排名第十，該學院的創業研究所(Entrepreneurship Institute)爲學生提供了他們所需的資源和空間。

A key factor that distinguishes all 10 schools in encouraging entrepreneurship is the importance of the alumni network. They were rated 6.7 out of 10 compared with 5.0 for the overall average in terms of securing finance, for example.

在鼓勵創業方面，所有這10所院校一個突出的關鍵因素是校友網絡的重要性。例如，校友網絡在總分10分中得分6.7分，而在獲得融資方面，整體平均得分爲5.0分。
