Synopsis

At Draper University, we try to look for alternatives to a standard education. We teach "Future" instead of history, we have a team-based approach rather than individualistic, and while other schools fall in line with anything that ensures safety, we proudly declare ourselves to be a dangerous school, complete with survival training and open ended projects and challenges. We believe that students, put to the task can perform at a much higher level than ever imagined by other schools, and we believe that a student with a purpose can achieve anything in his or her imagination. It is in this spirit that we recommend, and for some classes require reading "MBA in a Day." This book's audacious title statement challenges the status quo in business education. Getting the gist of an MBA behind them allows students to explore their visions unfettered by plebeian exercises designed to overwhelm them rather than inspire them. A great entrepreneur is focused and directed, and is willing to fail with gusto. They need a streamlined education so they can get to work on what they were put on the Earth to do.Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes, Michael Dell, and many others dropped out of school to pursue their dreams. And they were enormously successful -- in some cases in spite of their formal education. At Draper University, we embrace and support people who have the gumption to break from the pack to start businesses that might transform industries. We attempt to give them the tools they need to help them on their way. We believe that "MBA in a Day" is one of those tools. Read it with gusto and enthusiasm.
