PhD Testimonials

In Indonesia, I worked as a lecturer at the School of Business Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung, the oldest technical university in Indonesia. This job required me to have a deep understanding of the link between business and technology. At Monash (APCSWC), I found that I can learn about it, especially about technology commercialisation. For my PhD, I have supervisors who not only have a deep understanding of the theoretical framework of technology commercialisation but also are actively engaged in turning technology into business. Furthermore, at Monash I found a very complete and up-to-date collection of journals and books which can support my thesis research.

When you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. But to make somebody else believe in what you believe can sometimes be difficult.  PhD is a long journey and is not a sprint but a marathon. Those who have the persistence and tenacity are the ones that can succeed! With 2 years experience working with APCSWC as a PhD student, has taught me one ultimate lesson – Wealth Creation Matters!  I am now continuing my PhD journey in the Faculty of Business & Economics at Monash University – Clayton Campus.  With this, I would like to thank APCSWC which have supported me in so many ways for the past 2 years (August 2008 – August 2010). This centre has made my PhD journey an enjoyable and memorable life experience!
