Pakistan is a national whose all citizen is totally devoted for nation building.so professor of management is contributing to develop ideas for their economic growth by the research.

The answer depends on the possibility of your government to link scientific research to the work of ministries, And its reliance on research and development in achieving economic and administrative growth

The problem is quite common to many countries, including my own. The business in not inclined to pay much to universities and scientific institutions for management courses and other types of such an education. Great impact have organisations like branch chambers. They have the right approach in comunication with the producers. Academic institurions in general develop good management science and the branch chamber can specify the particular requirements of business.

Thank you so much Nikolay for your valuable contribution. We can collectively find out the way to narrow the gap between academia and corporate. We have to understand that where the whole research conducted by students in their business schools is going and why the corporate world is not taking it seriously to take benefit of this whole research like in western world where there is strong linkage between both industries.

would also be great to do research on this and ask business whether they utilize university research, and in what capacity.

in many cases, business find university research not practical enough and poorly aligned to business.

Thanks Brian for your response and value addition in discussion. I have just taken this as 1st step

Please let me know how you want to move forward as this issue need our immediate brainstorming as lot of research work specially in management science has no direction and no relevance with industry. I will wait for your response.

Thanks again

As a student, I would say that, yes Management Sciences will create an impact on knowledge of the economy in Pakistan and be a significant impact also on the industry and business growth. Whereby, management will allow university students to manage their resources in a way that will help the economy grow. Management science, enhances business skills in becoming professional leaders. Apart from funding's and support from the government, being in the field of management science an individual should be innovators.

I have just finished a research project based on Small and Medium Enterprises, my point is Management Science is of great impact in many fields of work......

i am currently busy with and co-authoring research on how entrepreneurs utilize knowledge, and this is rather related to your concern and interest.

drawing from that, i would think that a simple solution and start would be simply asking business whether they use research, and how they use research. it may be a survey/ questionnaire, but i think semi-structured interviews will have more value.

do business find research relevant? do they use it? what parts do they use/ don't use? how accessible is it? what research would they deem as crucial and relevant?

collaboration between universities and business is shocking. universities are seen as unapproachable and busy with their own thing. most research must be interpreted and applied first. universities are not producing the type of research business would value. universities are not aware of the problems and issues businesses face.

attempting to move towards a database of business problems or handshaking platform between business and universities should also be beneficial.

and online universities and courses are of course starting to become a serious threat to universities.
