Personal profile
Research interests
My current research interest looks at how each team member of a project can be autonomously motivated regardless of the type of project. I tackle this issue from the viewpoint of risk management: that is, how each person should take and manage a risk such that she/he can tackle the optimum challenge. I have developed this project management theory from the viewpoint of risk and motivation, which complements the PMBOK.
