Atlantic International University is delighted to share the Thesis Defense of one of our students, Mboule Andre, from Cameroon
Mboule recently presented his Thesis which was graded with an A for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Thesis was titled “Conceptualizing the project-based approach as a model to apply in entrepreneurial initiatives and business development. Application to the “Fountain of Living Water” Foundation in the Christian ministry.”
Abstract:
One of the reasons that press young people in entrepreneurship might be “to see their ideas realized.” This research topic, the “project-based approach” (PBAp), aims at providing an entrepreneur with the skills, competences, and processes for a full control of the product or service. This qualitative study used the Delphi method – with a panel of 12 experts – as the research design. It characterized the PBAp with superordinate or “stem” concepts, basic concepts, and specific concepts. The designed PBAp model consists of basic pillars such as People, Processes, and Technologies. The application of the PBAp model in the FOLW project helped identify the basic pillars of that project. We recommend the implementation of the PBAp model that derived from this research by innovators, entrepreneurs, project managers, and business developers. The PBAp would get more attention for future research, given that literature had not provided studies on this topic.
Mboule completed a Doctorate Program (Ph.D.) in Project Management at the Atlantic International University. We are very proud of you and wish you further success in all your professional pursuits.
