2.) Entrepreneur’s visa for highly skilled proposed by senators. Senators proposed easing visa limits for highly skilled immigrants and foreign graduates with an entrepreneur’s visa.
3.) Move over entrepreneurs, here come the intrapreneurs. In the wake of Facebook‘s IPO, and despite where the stock goes from here, one thing is clear: Entrepreneurs — especially successful ones — are the new rock stars of business culture.
4.) What makes entrepreneurs successful?
