TopCoder®, Inc., the leader in online programming competition, skills assessment, and competitive software development, announced today that it is working with faculty members at Harvard Business School ( www.hbs.edu ) to provide an environment where HBS MBA students can build new online businesses, from idea generation through product development and final roll out to market. In support of the School's new FIELD course (Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development), part of the required first-year MBA Program curriculum, TopCoder has created an online platform, a virtual "factory" environment, in which student entrepreneurs will explore how to use professional communities and digital creatives to conceptualize, build, manage, and grow real digital products and businesses. See http://community.topcoder.com/hbs-field/ for full details.
