The Beyster Institute's mission is to advance the use of entrepreneurship and employee ownership to build stronger, higher performing enterprises nationally and internationally. Launched in 2002 by the Foundation for Enterprise Development, the Institute is now part of the Rady School of Management at UC San Diego, serving as its key center for entrepreneurial thought and activity. It is the only such university-based center to integrate both employee ownership and entrepreneurship.
The Beyster Institute helps business leaders build successful companies worldwide through training, education and outreach. The Institute serves entrepreneurs by teaching them how to be effective managers and showing them how employee ownership can be adapted to fit their individual companies.
We offer a wide range of informational resources, events, training and consulting services on all aspects of employee ownership and entrepreneurship.
