Our SEPT Ph.D. student, Christopher Boafo, presented aspects of his current research on university-business collaboration impacts on firm internationalization. Mr. Boafo explores this work from university business schools in developing economies. "Presenting papers at a global conference and its complementary paper development workshops improve your research, as you freely receive new ideas from senior scholars and editors to build on your original ideas.' By so doing, 'you could have a higher chance to get your final manuscript accepted by a high-impact journal," says Mr. Boafo.

This Ph.D. thesis is supervised by Prof. Utz Dornberger (Director, SEPT Competence Center, Leipzig University) and Prof. Nathaniel Boso (Dean, KNUST School of Business).
