Beyster Institute at University of California at San Diego

The Beyster Institute was established by the Foundation for Enterprise Development (FED) in 2002 and took on the mission to spread the visionary ideas of Dr. J. Robert Beyster, founder of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Ideas taken from SAIC have led to the development of many highly successful enterprises based on a potent combination of employee ownership and entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2004, the Beyster Institute joined the Rady School of Management at the University of California, San Diego, a leading professional school within one of the top-ranked institutions in the U.S. for higher education and research.

Today, the Beyster Institute continues to promote the understanding and practice of employee ownership as an effective and responsible business model through its consulting practice, education initiatives and leadership role in the community.
