Sub-project: UCoBS Sub-Project Five
Research Title: “Stakeholder Collaboration and Entrepreneurship Education as a Moderator of Student Entrepreneurship Behavior in Southwest Uganda and Flemish”.
Akampurira Sarah is a first-year student doing a joint PhD in Business Administration at Mbarara University of Science and Technology and a PhD in Applied Economics at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
She works as an assistant lecturer on a part-time basis under the faculty of Business and Management Science at MUST and is very zealous about business and entrepreneurship.
Sarah holds a Master of Business Administration from Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), where she wrote her thesis on “Service Quality and Customer Loyalty in Mobile Telecommunication Networks,” and a Bachelor in Business Administration from MUST.
Winning a MUST IUC UCoBS PhD scholarship was very timely, following her passion to advocate for entrepreneurship, which is the key to economic development and transformation in Uganda. Her business background, coupled with the skills, knowledge, and recommendations obtained from the research study, will help the young entrepreneurs create jobs and succeed, thereby promoting economic sustainability and poverty reduction in Uganda.
