Irish firms lacking entrepreneur skills

IRISH entrepreneurial teams typically do not have the business skills to support high-growth potential new ventures, the provost of one of the world’s leading colleges for enterprise education has said.

Speaking in Dublin, Professor Mike Fetters, provost of Babson, said the educational sector in Ireland is not perceived to reinforce a strong enterprise culture.

Babson College co-produces the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a study of entrepreneurial activity.
