MBA students enter investor "shark tank" 

Students of the Entrepreneurial Management class, taught by Doug Lane, pitched their business plan to angel investors in a "Shark Tank" Style class held recently at the Thousand Oaks campus.

Lane challenged his students to create an actual business during the twelve weeks of the course with the entire class working as a single team to imagine and then realize a viable business.

The pitch was given by MBA student Tim Havel who was chosen as CEO by his classmates to present the product of their work this term.  Lane said of the students' efforts, "Going from zero to a business plan in just twelve weeks is an amazing feat.  The fact that they picked a project and made a viable plan was great."  According to Havel, "Lane's approach to this class is innovative, collaborative, and incredibly effective.  He is a great mentor with an approach that is unique, challenging, and empowering."  Read more
