Entrepreneurial Project Management and Personal Career Growth Path Design Using the PDCA Cycle Model

Entrepreneurship education activities in colleges and universities have been developing rapidly in recent years, but behind them there are problems such as scattered resources, an unstandardized system, and a lack of effective management. Through studying the application of the PDCA cycle model in entrepreneurship project management and applying its concepts and methods to the design of personal career growth paths, we explore and construct the evaluation model of PDCA entrepreneurship projects and the theoretical framework of PDCA personal career growth path design. We explore and construct the PDCA entrepreneurial project management evaluation model and the theoretical framework of PDCA personal career growth path design. Factor analysis and multiple regression analysis are used to explore the application effect of the PDCA entrepreneurial project management model, and structural equation modeling is used to explore the relationship between the links in the PDCA personal career growth path. The results show that the PDCA-based entrepreneurship program management achieves good application effects, and the overall innovation and entrepreneurial knowledge and ability of sample students increased by 27.16% after application. The evaluation of each element in the PDCA personal career growth path is above the medium level, with scores above 3. Resource input, execution strategy, process control, and result evaluation have positive and significant effects on the next link in turn (p < 0.01). Improving entrepreneurship program management and personal career growth paths with the PDCA cycle model can effectively enhance students’ innovation, entrepreneurship ability, and career competitiveness.
