My main reason for enrolling was the need to learn and connect with people with whom I share the same values including involvement in scientific research with the aim of contributing to the creation of a better business environment and the world around us. The best part of the study is an interdisciplinary approach in perceiving problems and finding optimal solutions for them. Insisting on asking the right questions and applying the right research methods are of great importance to me for acquiring relevant knowledge. I consider the constant re-examination of valid theories and methods to be the most significant outcome of this study.

I enrolled into the doctoral study ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIVENESS because I wanted to continue my research about the future of education in the environment that would encourage me to grow, both professionally and personally, and to think forward in creative ways. I enjoy participating in open dialogues with my professors and classmates, learning, hearing other perspectives on challenging problems and expressing my thoughts. This program has already given me courage to set goals for my future in the academic world and begin research that will make a difference.

The intrinsic need for personal and (hopefully) global development through learning and research has led me to the doctoral study ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIVENESS. Well-structured study program and the experienced academic team made the study process like coming home by creating a welcoming, supportive, guiding and motivating environment.

I needed new challenges in my life so I think that doctoral study Entrepreneurship and Innovations is a really good choice (together with a newborn baby). The lectures are interesting and professors are very helpful and are encouraging us to read and research a lot! Since I have been  dealing with SME and entrepreneurship for the last fifteen years(after twelve years in the banking business), I wanted to learn something new regarding the topics and to challenge myself.

My motive to enroll at my age (just celebrated my 71st birthday) in the doctoral study ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATIVENESS is my wish to write the doctoral thesis with the topic “Economic Beneficence of the Third Age Generation” and  send a written message to anyone who wants to know more about significance of the well-being and contribution of the third age generation to economic development through working with younger generations.

The doctoral study helps me (with guidance through the maze of literature and implementing different methodologies of research) to present my topic well-grounded in theoretical frameworks. Later, after defending my doctoral dissertation, I desire to publish a book.
