政策研究中心新发表的《超级创业者:你的国家如何得到他们》报告,考察了1000个白手起家的创业者如何赚到第一个10亿美元。报告指出,创造力、自信心、雄心和应对失败的能力固然重要,但他们大多也需要一个学位:“创业精神往往是知识密集型”。在美国超级创业者中,只有16%的人没有大学学位,拥有硕士以上学位者达到半数,其中博士比率五倍于美国人的平均值。 Newly published by the Center for Policy Studies, The Super-Entrepreneurship: How Your Country gets them, examines how 1,000 self-made start-ups earn the first billion dollars. The report notes that while creativity, self-confidence, ambition and the ability to respond to failures are important, most of them also need a degree: “Entrepreneurship is often knowledge-intensive.” Only 16% of the US hyper-entrepreneurs do not have a university degree, and half of them have master’s degrees or above. The rate of PhDs is five times the average for Americans.
