  "summary": "The University of Gold Coast has launched a new Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme in Business Administration, aimed at enhancing Africa-focused research and developing leaders capable of translating knowledge into practical solutions. The three-year doctoral programme, introduced through the Accra International Doctoral College, targets professionals, academics, and executives seeking to investigate critical organisational and national issues through rigorous research. Chancellor and Founder of the University of Gold Coast, Bishop Dr Gideon Titi-Ofei, emphasized that Africa must move beyond consuming knowledge to becoming a producer of knowledge that addresses its own challenges. The programme combines advanced research training, structured supervision, publication development, and original thesis work, with candidates expected to undertake research focused on real-world challenges in business, governance, and public policy.",
