Installation chair “I&E” (In advance)

17-12-2008

Prof. dr. Radjesh B. Oedit Doebé, MBA, MSc will be installed as professor at Via Vinci University Suriname on January 12th 2009 at the University Guesthouse in Suriname and will be working on a research and education assignment “Innovation & Entrepreneurship”. While holding a chair, he will be working in Suriname for several periods per year on supervising and tutoring doctorate candidates, providing classes in Research & Reporting for MBA and DBA/PhD students and providing workshops and lectures on Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Together with Via Vinci University he will be cooperating with governments, business and the University of Suriname. Dr. Oedit Doebé is 53 years old, married and has three children. His career started in Suriname where he graduated from high school. After his arrival in the Netherlands in 1975, he took up a study at the Technical University Delft and other universities. He gained the title of Engineer in both process technology and technical business administration. Further, he obtained a doctoral degree in business administration and public administration after which he acquired his doctorate degree in business administration.

In 2000, Dr. Oedit Doebé has been appointed professor in business administration at the international Newport University in Antwerp, Belgium. He acts as a guest lecturer at (inter)national congresses and symposia and has done various publications. Besides his activities in higher education (Newport University and The Hague University), he is a senior consultant in general management.

Organisation-wise, the chair will be positioned in the Via Vinci Research Laboratory, the research department directed by Dr. Hans Broekhuis. Dr Oedit Doebé will be working closely with Prof. Dr. Herman Kuipers, who supervises and tutors promotion candidates until the moment they have been assigned to a promoter and registered at the promotion register. The latter enables promotion candidates to acquire a Doctorate Degree fully recognised by Dutch law. Candidates who conduct their study and their research under the auspices of the new chair will acquire a Doctorate Degree and/or one of the international titles PhD and DBA.

The purpose of this chair is to contribute to the further development of the Suriname society and economy, by multiplying and transferring scientific knowledge in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. In specific, the following goals are set:

1. attracting and tutoring doctorate candidates during their scientific research around these topics;
2. to embed the new scientifically founded insights in educational Bachelor and Master programmes and/or in workshops and seminars;
3. to stimulate organisational development courses within companies, governments and other organisations, partly on the basis of the newly acquired insights.
