The Ph.D. program of Entrepreneurship and Business Economics, abbreviated as EBE, at Al-Quds University, is designed to meet the current and future needs of the Palestinian public and private sectors. To underscore the significance and value of this new program, a workshop and several meetings will be conducted, inviting highly qualified and promising experts. Policymakers need to recognize the importance of business and entrepreneurial economics concepts. To that end, the proposed Ph.D. program is designed to provide students with the cutting-edge issues in innovation, entrepreneurship, business, and economic development. Classical business and financial policies fail to capture many vital forces in today’s global economy. Entrepreneurship and business economics are currently defined as the only way to create new jobs, achieve sustainable job growth, improve wages, and raise the standard of living and well-being. Clear business strategies for innovation and entrepreneurship that engage all stakeholders, boost innovation, and ultimately improve productivity are especially critical for austerity or economic development. The Ph.D. program will incorporate three main types of incubators: financial, technical, and cultural.
The program will provide Ph.D. students with theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in business economics, entrepreneurship, and economic development. Its objective is to prepare leaders, entrepreneurs, and researchers who can formulate competitive economic strategies to support the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Palestine and the surrounding region. Incubators will serve as a nurturing environment for startups to initiate their journey. The program equips students with essential skills and knowledge in business strategy, innovation, and economic analysis, catering to the growing demand for professionals in these areas. Furthermore, the program’s emphasis on empirical analysis of firm-level data to study the drivers of innovation and productivity aligns perfectly with the university’s goal of promoting innovative research and development. This approach will significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in the field and assist in developing sustainable economic strategies in Palestine and the region.
In addition, our Ph.D. candidates are expected to possess the necessary theoretical and practical expertise to address how graduates can effectively prepare Ph.D. theses and research that contribute to the innovation and growth of Palestinian local businesses. Furthermore, two workshops will be conducted in July 2023 by the chambers of commerce in Hebron and Ramallah, further emphasizing the commitment to fostering collaboration between academia and the business community.
