SF Up: Increasing Engagement with Existing Networks

Join SF Up for our next Speaker Series hosted by Babson College -- "Increasing Engagement with Existing Networks"

Effective leaders in any type of organization engage others in their vision to build a high-performing team. This session, taught by Babson Professor Phil Kim, an internationally recognized expert on entrepreneurship and founding teams, will review the basic principles of social networks and, through a series of networking exercises, teach you how to build support for a project by enrolling others in your vision. 




Phillip H. Kim is an internationally recognized expert on entrepreneurship. He studies, teaches, and advises on different aspects of how entrepreneurial ideas become reality. Specifically, his research interests include start-up processes and founding teams, institutions and entrepreneurship, cross-national differences in entrepreneurship (especially in emerging economies), technology entrepreneurship, and innovation narratives. To explore these interests, he has examined data from a variety of contexts including surveys of entrepreneurs in the U.S., Europe, and Asia; census data in Sweden; the early history of radio broadcasting; a respected technology transfer office; and a popular crowd funding platform.
