These universities tend to be more pragmatic. That is, they offer consulting and/or training to various groups of external students and cooperates and thus they gain constant real world inputs and share these amongst the faculty members (good process). As a result, students are encouraged to develop their critical mind and apply that to the research and allows the advisor to produce good research and outcomes for business professionals in the community at the same time. These are good materials for writing good textbooks and research publications.
