Separating “I” from “T” in IT – Managing Information Assets in Organizations

Professor G. Shankaranarayanan (Shankar)

Information Technology Management is key for all companies because today every company is a technology company. Wayfair calls itself a technology company that sells furniture and Amazon is a technology company in the retail space. But, data (and information) have become such critical assets in organizations, it is time to manage the information assets separately from the technology assets. This session offers insights into a key topic within our Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship course – managing data in organizations.

Entrepreneurial Dynamism

Professor Elizabeth Swanson

When Professor Elizabeth Swanson called a former Babson President to ask for his support for a partnership to create livelihood solutions for survivors of human trafficking, he replied, “The answer is yes. Now what’s the question?” This affirming response set her on a path that resulted in, among other things, transformational learning experiences for her Human Rights students, who worked with women and girls surviving sex trafficking, and, more recently, with incarcerated women. This session will showcase Babson’s infectious entrepreneurial dynamism as Professor Swanson describes her own journey as a professor of literature and human rights who became an entrepreneur at Babson, and how having an entrepreneurial mindset empowered her to create exponential impact, as she, her students, and the survivors they support gain life-altering experiences and a range of academic and professional skills. 11:30 a.m.–12 p.m.

Don’t Just Take It From Us

I chose Babson for the great opportunity they provide, and the unlimited resources given to help me build a career for myself. Outside of that, I have built great communities through all of the organizations I have become involved in, through my Iranian culture, and my passion for Women’s empowerment. Babson has given me the opportunities to find my communities and leverage my passions to create a greater impact on the world.

When I decided to look at Babson, and, when I made that career switch [from studying law to finance], I realized Babson was already all around me. My mentor, the executive director and founder of Seeds of Fortune Nitiya Walker ’14, is a Babson alum. My assigned mentor from my first year at Seeds was a current Babson student. The Seed Sister I looked up to the most was committed to Babson as well. These are some of the most intelligent and impactful women I know. Inspired by them, I knew I wanted to surround myself with more like-minded people in college.

I chose Babson because I knew I wanted to study business at one of the best schools. After attending [an event for admitted students], the atmosphere confirmed that this was the school for me. I remember being able to experience the classroom setting with a current Babson professor and in that moment knowing that could be my reality a year from that time.

Curriculum Planning Guide

Campus Deep Dive

A Business Education With an Entrepreneurial Lens

Our undergraduate curriculum, a combination of business and liberal arts and sciences classes, is designed for the entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow.

At Babson, you learn so much more than business. You learn a new way of thinking. And doing. We call this entrepreneurial leadership, and it’s in everything we do.

And entrepreneurial thinkers don’t just start businesses. With our handson curriculum, you acquire core management and critical-thinking skills and develop new perspectives and insights, all while becoming a culturally aware thinker and communicator. Whether you’re innovating within a large corporation, solving global issues, or taking the startup world by storm, you have what it takes to pursue your passions and create your own path to success. Our students leave campus career-ready (and in demand!).

“Babson offers an innovative curriculum where students can learn and grow with a focus on what they’re hoping to learn going forward. They take part in unique experiences that can help them craft their own story, develop their own path, and cultivate their growth as entrepreneurial leaders.”

– WENDY MURPHY Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Professor of Management

“Every great idea stems from some sort of entrepreneurial leadership. The ability to solve a problem in a way that includes a team ... the ability to lead a team to accomplish that idea—I think that’s what drives the world forward.”

– MICHAEL AGARD ’24

A Balanced Curriculum, Geared Toward Success

Our core curriculum contains three elements that, through experiential learning, empower you to create lasting value for yourself, your communities, and the world.

FOUNDATIONS OF MANAGEMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (FME)

You start your journey with Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME)— an award-winning core first-year course that teaches you entrepreneurial leadership from the startup perspective. During your first year of FME, you create and run a venture. Along the way, you learn the ins and outs of entrepreneurial leadership supported by two faculty members and two student mentors. While immersed in this thought-provoking environment, you examine your personal and professional identity. Learn more about this course on page 12.

SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

As you dive into your Socio-Ecological Systems requirement during your sophomore year, you learn about cultural, ecological, and economic systems, a deeper understanding of your social responsibility, and concepts to address sustainability challenges. And, by developing the problem-solving skills you need to be an effective leader and to produce sustainable solutions to real-world challenges, you better understand your place in the world and have the skills and knowledge to create lasting change.

Courses include: Urban Development, Feeding the Modern United States, and Natural Disasters

ADVANCED EXPERIENTIAL

Before you graduate, you tie your college experience together with your Advanced Experiential requirement, which is a semester-long project with a company or nonprofit where you hone your interests and foster professional relationships. And, as a result, you leave Babson as an in-demand global citizen, ready and able to forge your path to success!

Courses include: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Human Rights, International Consulting Experience, Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE), Retail Management, Sales in Action, and Scaling Lean Ventures

Learn Through Firsthand Experience

(In Your First Year!)

Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME) is your first adventure in entrepreneurial leadership and collaboration.

LEARN BUSINESS BY DOING BUSINESS

You may think introductory courses have nothing to do with your professional interests. Not at Babson. When you get to campus, you dive right into our ethos from a startup perspective as you develop, launch, and manage a new venture in FME. In this yearlong course, required of all first-year students, you learn to communicate, lead, work in a team, manage obstacles, and see a plan through to completion. It’s not only a chance to immediately start learning in an authentic environment, but a safe space to make friends, figure out what parts of entrepreneurship speak to you, and grow your confidence at the beginning of college.

100%

of profits are donated to the team’s service organization.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FME: babson.edu/undergraduate/academics/hands-on-learning/

Since 1999, FME businesses have donated more than $538,000 to local service organizations.

“It puts everything into this crazy course on entrepreneurship. It introduces you to what business and Babson are all about.”

– SOPHIA PANTOS ’24

HOW IT WORKS

With guidance from two dedicated faculty members, who offer deep expertise in the fields of entrepreneurship and management as industry professionals, you gain the skills necessary to be successful in whatever path you chart. That includes entrepreneurship, marketing, organizational behavior, and operations, all while emphasizing the integrated role these functions have in an organization.

Classes of up to 40 students break into teams to use the concepts and tools of Entrepreneurial Thought & Action®, the method of turning ideas into action, to explore a creative opportunity that solves a problem and creates value. Once you determine your idea is feasible, you create a launch plan and must qualify for a loan of up to $3,000 from the College as startup money for your business.

FORMING PARTNERSHIPS

Our FME teams establish a partnership with a local social services agency, emphasizing the importance of corporate social responsibility. Collectively, each team donates 80 hours of community service, plus profits from their business, to that organization. Students have supported a variety of organizations, including Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, Cradles to Crayons, Boys and Girls Club, and the Greater Boston Food Bank. The only question is: How much will your team contribute?

WHAT YOU GAIN

The experience is more than just learning how to launch a startup. It’s about recognizing career options. It’s about identifying and creating opportunities, understanding your goals, developing the mindset of an entrepreneurial leader, managing team dynamics, and communicating effectively. Above all, it’s about turning ideas into action.

These skills are essential to your personal and professional development, and you will constantly use them throughout your four years—and throughout your future career.

“FME is one of the things that truly separates the Babson learning experience from the rest. Most schools rely on textbooks and case studies, while the FME experience puts theory into practice, exposing you to many aspects of business you can’t learn in a classroom such as team dynamics and real-time decision making. When it comes to entrepreneurship, there is nothing more valuable than real world experience and FME delivers Babson students with exactly that.”
