Research Project

The Research Project is a research-based activity to be undertaken after successful completion of Stages 1 and 2 of the programmes. Students will work independently to identify research interests, gaps in knowledge, explore hypotheses and develop a research plan. The Research Project will allow students to hone their analytical and investigative skills by participating in an active research project under a faculty advisor to produce usable data sets, public presentations, and abstracts suitable for publication. The following are examples of broader categories that are considered to be suitable for a scholarly project:

– Entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship;

– Development of entrepreneur friendly environments

– SME start-up and growth;

– SME life cycles;

– Ethics and Corporate governance in the context of SME operations;

– Family business;

– Not-for profit SME organisations;

– International business development for SMEs;

– Legal structures as vehicles for entrepreneurial growth and development;

– Fund raising for SMEs

– Other areas directly related to the set-up, growth, and development of SMEs
