COT 401 Entrepreneurship Exam 2026

About this paper

First semester examination in Entrepreneurship (COT 401), University of Buea College of Technology, January 2026, Instructor Dr Sophie E. Etomes, 6 credit value, 2 hours. Two questions worth 35 marks each: Question 1 covers the concept of entrepreneurship, five contributions of technopreneurs to Cameroon's economic development, and the three major stages of startup creation (idea generation, planning/implementation, commercialization). Question 2 is built around SWOT Analysis -- defining it, explaining each of its four components, applying it to a small/medium enterprise of the student's choice to improve business performance, and explaining the main functions of money in an entrepreneurial venture. The source scan carried light handwritten student annotations (partial outline answers in the margins for Q1c and Q2); per pipeline policy these were not transcribed, and full independent model answers were derived from the printed questions alone.
