This document discusses establishing industry-driven business education through academia-industry partnerships. It argues that business schools and industry need to work more closely together given changing business needs. Industry can help orient business education by providing input on curriculum, giving guest lectures, participating in executive programs, and offering internships and projects to help students gain practical skills. Stronger collaboration is important to develop talent that benefits both academia and industry.
1. There is a large gap between the number of graduates coming out of Indian universities and the number that are employable, with estimates that only 25% of engineering and 10% of general graduates have the necessary skills.
2. This skills gap is caused by academics that focus only on theoretical knowledge and a lack of interaction between industry, government, and academia to develop curricula tailored to industry needs.
3. Improving employability will require bringing employers into the course design process, modifying courses to match industry needs, and building links between educational institutions and local employers through activities like guest lectures, internships, and research collaborations.
Making Management Education in India Meet Global Qualitypaperpublications3
This document discusses gaps in meeting global quality standards in management education in India and areas for improvement. It notes that while Indian business schools seek international accreditation for prestige, only a small number have achieved it due to gaps like inadequate faculty, minimal research, and curriculum not aligned with practical skills. The document outlines key issues to address like strengthening industry partnerships, emphasizing ethics and research, and evaluating faculty. It provides suggestions to improve areas like governance, curriculum, and developing students' analytical and teamwork skills through exercises. Regular assessment and faculty development are also emphasized to enhance management education in India.
This research aims to create the 8+i link and match model as an embodiment of a healthy learning ecosystem between schools and the worlds of business and industry. The research technique is a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The qualitative technique develops a basic list of success characteristics using meta-ethnography, whereas the quantitative approach defines the link between the variables under examination by establishing or building many latent variables that explain the relationship between variables using Aiken's formula and SPSS version 26. The study's findings demonstrate the success of the 8+i link and match model between Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat vocational high school/Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat and industry in generating efficiency and mutual benefits for both parties, not just ordinary collaboration, but intense collaboration from the curriculum development, learning, and industrial work practices designed collaboratively. The Implication of the 8+i link and match model if correctly implemented is that the industry will profit because the training expenses is reduced, and vocational high schools will benefit because their graduates is absorbed by the industry. Recommendations for the vocational high school curriculum must include schools, and industry, also Teaching personnel must include practitioners from industry as well as instructors from schools.
Making Management Education in India Meet Global Qualitypaperpublications3
Abstract:Management education in India is under increasing demand with close on a lakh of students passing out each year. Demand has especially increased after changes towards privatization and globalization, offering great potential to aspiring MBA students. According to the Business Standard dated 20th March 21, 2014 “India’s Marquee B-schools make a dash for global recognition”. Tangible benefits of international accreditation attract global faculty and students besides helping justify higher fees. Further, B-schools are not satisfied with a single accreditation, but want the triple-crown, namely. Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
Keywords:Management education, Global recognition.
The document discusses the importance of industry-academia collaboration and different modes of interface between the two. It notes that the changing business environment requires industry and academia to work more closely together to develop skills in students. Common interface methods include guest lectures, workshops, training programs, and projects. However, academia also needs to redesign curricula to better align with industry needs and expectations. The conclusion states that both industry and academia would benefit from stronger, long-term partnerships through modes like student projects and industry expert involvement in teaching.

This document proposes a model for how higher educational institutions can increase the value of their students/graduates over time through continuous engagement and continuous professional development programs. The model depicts students/graduates going through different stages - from introduction to growth to maturity to potential decline if they do not continue learning. It suggests higher educational institutions should monitor industry changes, collaborate closely with industry, and use alumni networks to provide relevant continuous professional development programs that help graduates adapt to industry changes over time and avoid skills decline. This ensures graduates remain valuable to industry and higher educational institutions can enhance their relationships with students and alumni.

This document discusses entrepreneurship education in higher education. It suggests that entrepreneurship education should be incorporated across all disciplines, not just business studies, and that it is important for developing entrepreneurial mindsets and skills in students. Effective entrepreneurship education involves experiential learning opportunities and collaboration with real entrepreneurs. Both teachers and institutions must be actively involved and support innovative teaching methods that foster entrepreneurship. Technology should also be integrated into entrepreneurship education programs.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the implementation of an entrepreneurship module called the Basic Entrepreneurship Module (BEM) in community colleges in Malaysia based on input from students and lecturers. The study collected data through questionnaires from 105 students and 42 lecturers. It found that both students and lecturers generally had positive perspectives of the BEM implementation, viewing it as moderately or highly effective. Specifically, lecturers felt moderately high about teaching the BEM, though some felt facilities could be improved. Students strongly agreed they learned new things and saw the BEM as very necessary to develop entrepreneurial skills, viewing its implementation positively overall. The study concludes the BEM had a good reception and could help community college students

This document discusses a study on the rigour and relevance of HR education in business schools in Karnataka, India. It conducted a survey of 238 HR students from 23 institutions across university types. The survey found that 35% of students viewed certain core HR subjects as redundant, particularly those related to HR skills and development. Another 21% saw subjects on industrial relations and labor laws as redundant. 15% viewed subjects on organizational development and change management as redundant. However, 23% felt all HR subjects were important. The results varied significantly between university types, with state university students more likely to view certain subjects as redundant compared to central university students who felt all subjects were important. The study aims to understand how HR education needs to evolve to meet
India's Demographic Dividend - How to ExploitSagar Chavan
This document discusses India's demographic dividend and the need to develop skills to take advantage of it. It notes that while India has shifted directly to a services sector economy without strong industrial development, re-industrialization is needed to create jobs and drive economic growth. The document outlines challenges with outdated worker skills and proposes public-private partnerships in vocational education and training to develop skills relevant to the economy. India has a young population that can boost its workforce if given proper skills through improved vocational education programs involving government and private sector collaboration.
This document discusses issues with current management education pedagogy in India and proposes improvements. It notes that management education in India today places too little emphasis on practical, hands-on learning and developing skills needed in the workplace like leadership, teamwork and communication. To address this, it recommends management education shift towards more interactive, student-centered teaching methods like simulations, projects and case studies that integrate theory and practice. It also suggests incorporating more opportunities for experiential learning like internships. The document concludes that business schools must adopt innovative, flexible pedagogies that develop well-rounded graduates prepared to meet the changing needs of the business environment.
Universities and B schools have a significant role to play in developing entrepreneurship in India. They can breed entrepreneurs and help develop winning qualities and job creation opportunities. B schools increase knowledge about identifying opportunities and overcoming barriers. The Indian government should promote entrepreneurial education by supporting B schools to refine techniques, select suitable students and faculty, encourage experience sharing and research collaboration.

This document discusses the role of education in entrepreneurship development in India. It notes that formal education is positively correlated with entrepreneurship, and education and training can enhance entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of entrepreneurs. However, current entrepreneurship education in India focuses only on related courses, which are similar to general business courses that have little influence on entrepreneurial skills. The document aims to explain the evolution of entrepreneurship education in India, discuss its importance for the economy, and examine challenges and ways to improve entrepreneurship education programs.
Entrepreneurs, according to Joseph Schumpeter, are responsible for creative destruction. They are the real drivers
economic growth and employment. Creation of entrepreneurship of such higher order would require Universities and Higher Education institutions (HEI) to include entrepreneurship and innovation as a part of their vision
and therefore embed, support and grow an entrepreneurship and innovation culture among management, faculty and students. This transformation, into what we may call the entrepreneurial university, would lead to wide ranging external collaborations and partnerships and enthusiasm to
engage even with the smallest economic and social entrepreneurs inside and outside the campus.

This document discusses the evolution of human resource competencies and roles in India. It outlines how the human resource function has changed over time from a focus on welfare in the early 20th century to an emphasis on human resource management and development starting in the 1980s. The economic reforms of the 1990s placed increased pressure on human resources to help organizations achieve their goals and compete internationally. As a result, HR practitioners in India are now expected to possess new competencies to fulfill evolving role expectations in the changing business environment. However, no prior empirical research has identified the specific new competencies and roles needed for HR professionals to succeed in India. This paper aims to address that gap by exploring the competencies now required of HR managers.

The journal is published biannually by the Tecnia Institute of Advanced Studies.
This document discusses the evolution of human resource competencies and roles in India. It outlines how the human resource function has changed over time from a focus on welfare in the early 20th century to an emphasis on human resource management and development starting in the 1980s. The economic reforms of the 1990s placed increased pressure on human resources to help organizations achieve their goals and compete internationally. As a result, HR practitioners in India are now expected to possess new competencies to fulfill evolving role expectations in the changing business environment. However, no prior empirical research has identified the specific new competencies and roles needed for HR professionals to succeed in India. This paper aims to address that gap by exploring the competencies now required of HR managers.
This study compared attitudes toward eco-friendly products between urban and rural consumers in India. A survey was conducted of 400 respondents, examining attitudes toward various dimensions of eco-friendly products like raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, use, and disposal. The results showed that while gender did not significantly impact attitudes overall, females had a more favorable attitude than males toward proper disposal of products. Urban residents also had a more favorable attitude than rural residents toward raw materials, packaging, and disposal. In general, the study found that urban people were more conscious of and had a more positive attitude toward the various aspects of eco-friendly products compared to rural people.
1. The document discusses changing values in human resource management (HRM) and an alternative approach of integrated personal development.
2. It notes that globalization, competition, and technological innovation have shifted economies and work to be more knowledge-based, requiring new skills beyond traditional personal development methods.
3. The authors propose that an integrated approach to personal development, addressing areas like neuro-linguistic programming, energy psychology, and humanistic theories, provides a useful alternative for developing the skills needed to manage human resources in a global context.
This document discusses consolidation in the banking industry and the resulting human resource (HR) challenges. It begins by providing context on the increasing consolidation in the banking sector through mergers and acquisitions. This is done to create larger, stronger banks that can better withstand financial shocks. However, consolidation also presents significant HR challenges. It can lead to differing perspectives among merged workforces, issues with cross-cultural integration between banks with different cultures, and challenges with talent assimilation and re-skilling employees from different banks. The document argues HR managers have an important role in communication, orientation, and training to help address these challenges and ensure a smooth consolidation process.
This document summarizes research on the effect of corporate branding on industrial and organizational purchasing. It contains the following key points:
1. Corporate branding plays an important role in industrial and organizational purchasing by influencing various stakeholders in the purchase process and helping the brand remain top of mind.
2. The purchase process for industrial products is more rational and involves various roles approving specifications, soliciting quotes, technical analysis, and selecting the lowest bidder while the brand subtly influences each stage.
3. For repeat purchases, strong corporate branding builds confidence and ensures the brand is re-purchased by delivering on past performance and meeting specifications. Modifying specifications may also lead to re-purchasing the same brand based on prior experience
The article discusses the challenges faced by middle management who are caught in the crossfires of top management and lower management. Middle management receives directives from top management and passes them to lower management, but this can lead to blame from both sides. Top management may bypass middle management and blame them for failures. As a result, middle managers often experience frustration, low morale, and career dilemmas. The study found a relationship between middle management challenges and negative outcomes for managers and organizational performance. Further research is needed to improve organizational design and reduce conflicts among management levels.
This document discusses several contemporary issues in accounting, including accounting for price level changes, valuation of human resources, accounting for intangible assets, and brand accounting. It notes that there are multiple accepted methods for addressing these issues, which can lead to a lack of comparability between companies. Specifically mentioned are the general purchasing power method versus current cost accounting for price changes, and various cost-based and market-based approaches to valuing intangible assets and brands. The document also briefly defines and discusses the concept of "creative accounting," where companies may manipulate accounting figures and financial reporting to manage earnings and suit their own needs.
This document provides information about Volume 15, Issue 2 of the Academic Studies National Journal of Jyoti Research Academy published in July-December 2022. It includes the editorial board members and details of 8 research papers published in this issue. The research papers cover topics in various disciplines like linking endometriosis and breast cancer, composting of market waste, self-leadership in organizations, preservation of culture in folktales of Tripura, and exposing the traditions of indigenous people of Arunachal Pradesh through poetry. The journal aims to encourage multidisciplinary research and provide a platform for knowledge sharing.
This article discusses the effect of corporate branding on industrial and organizational purchasing. It analyzes how brands influence various stakeholders in the purchasing process, from those who initiate purchases to decision makers, gatekeepers, and end users. The influence of brands is explored for different purchasing situations like new tasks, straight re-buys, and modified re-buys. Strategies are recommended for organizations to strengthen their brand building, including establishing points of entry, personalized integrated marketing, leveraging the brand's lifespan, and developing brand intimacy. The article concludes that brands play an important role in aiding recall and influencing purchasing decisions in business-to-business contexts.
Global HR skills and competencies are becoming increasingly important as globalization continues. The article discusses several key global HR skills that are important for multinational companies, including cross-cultural communication skills, cultural awareness, flexibility, and change management skills. It also outlines important global HR competencies such as openness, contextual thinking, and the ability to adapt quickly. Global leaders need to develop cultural literacy to understand differences and leverage diversity. HR professionals must help organizations and individuals develop skills for a global business environment.
This document summarizes a research article that studied the effect of corporate branding on industrial and organizational purchasing. It finds that brands play an important role in business-to-business purchasing across different situations:
1) In "new task" purchases, brands influence initiators, influencers, decision makers, and users in recommending preferred brands during the specification and bidding process.
2) In "straight re-buy" purchases where customers repeatedly purchase the same item, strong brands that deliver on promises of quality and performance influence customers to keep repurchasing that brand.
3) In "modified re-buy" purchases where specifications change slightly, powerful brands from past positive experiences can persuade customers to purchase that brand for
This document summarizes research on the effect of corporate branding on industrial and organizational purchasing. It contains the following key points:
1) Corporate brands play an important role in business-to-business (B2B) purchasing decisions, influencing factors like recall, comparisons, specifications, and relationships between buyers and sellers.
2) In new purchasing tasks, corporate brands that are top-of-mind are often included in initial specifications. In straight re-buys, past brand performance builds confidence. In modified re-buys, brands must convince buyers that requirements can still be met.
3) Multiple stakeholders are involved in B2B purchasing including initiators, influencers, decision makers, and users.
This document discusses shifting paradigms in strategic customer relationship management (SCRM). SCRM systems must do more than just track customer interactions - they must analyze information, spot trends, and enable sales forces. Next-generation SCRM integrates customer data throughout the entire organization, from sales and marketing to engineering and operations. It provides benefits like improved communication, identifying key accounts, and turning data into actionable insights. SCRM must be designed around collaboration and information sharing across departments to facilitate real-time customer insights. Today's approach to innovation and value creation is driven by customer co-creation and intimacy, requiring SCRM solutions to manage broader customer relationships and interactions.
The document discusses the issue of unemployment among technical students in India. It finds that 60% of technical students lack the skills required by industry. Engineering graduates often take clerical or banking jobs instead of jobs requiring their technical skills due to gaps between their education and industry needs. Reasons for this skills gap and unemployment include a lack of proper training, career guidance, fundamental knowledge, teaching quality, and industrial exposure in their education. The document examines unemployment rates in India by year and argues stronger coordination is needed between technical education and industry to address the unemployment problem.
customer-relationship-management-vs-consumerism-2FDn.pdfTHIMMAIAH BC
The document discusses the relationship between customer relationship management (CRM) and consumerism. It argues that CRM, when practiced fully, can help address issues that lead to consumerism. Specifically, it notes that CRM involves making customers the central focus of all business activities in order to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. In contrast, consumerism arises when customers exercise their rights due to poor product or service performance. The document concludes that CRM, as a marketing strategy compared to consumerism, can be a more financially viable approach for businesses if executed professionally.
1) The document discusses a study comparing attitudes of males and females as well as urban and rural consumers towards environmentally friendly products in India.
2) The study found no significant difference in attitudes between males and females except for after-use features, where females had a more favorable attitude.
3) Urban consumers had a more favorable attitude overall towards environmentally friendly products compared to rural consumers, particularly regarding raw materials, packaging, and after-use features.
This document discusses the need for pragmatic human resource (HR) initiatives in banks in India following deregulation and liberalization. It notes that early economic reforms focused on financial options rather than HR, but that HR is now crucial for competitiveness given globalization and technological changes. The document examines key HR issues that emerged for banks post-liberalization, like lack of skilled employees and outdated productivity norms. It argues HR initiatives must be aligned with environmental factors, determine skills needed for new challenges, reallocate resources efficiently, cut costs through outsourcing, and develop a marketing culture. A pragmatic HR approach is necessary for banks to adapt and survive increasing competition in the changing market.
This document discusses environmental accounting and reporting. It begins with an introduction stating that balancing environmental protection and economic development is important for developing countries. It then provides an overview of the development of social accounting and corporate social responsibility, with an emphasis on environmental accounting, reporting, and existing reporting scenarios. The key points made are:
- Environmental accounting refers to accounting that includes environmental goods and services. It aims to measure the environmental impacts and costs of economic activities.
- The objectives of environmental accounting include better management of environmental costs, more accurate product/process costs, and identifying opportunities to minimize environmental costs.
- Benefits include reducing compliance and operating costs, aiding strategic decision making, and gaining competitive advantages through improved environmental
This document discusses the potential impacts of WTO regulations on the privatization of higher education in India. It begins with background on the current state of higher education in India and then analyzes how WTO rules could open the sector to foreign universities. A SWOT analysis is presented on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by Indian universities from increasing globalization and competition. The analysis finds that while foreign involvement may bring revenue from foreign students and innovation, it also risks making education unaffordable and could undermine the culture and non-profit mission of Indian higher education.

Establishing Industry-driven Business-Education
Through Academia-Industry Interface
Thimmaiah Bayavanda Chinnappa1
Dr. N. Karunakaran2
ABSTRACT
Universities/B-Schools and Industry, which for long have been operating in separate domains, are rapidly
inching closer to each other to create synergies. In response to the growing complexity of the business
environment today, the constantly changing management paradigms have necessitated the establishment
of Industry orientation in business education. Educational institutions contribute skilled not only human
resources to business but also in various intangible ways.The intersecting needs and mutually interdependent
relationship requires identifying means of further strengthening academia-industry partnerships. For that,
Industry, rather than just being the customers of business school output today, have become stakeholders
and partners in progress. Industry, on the other hand has also discovered the advantages of collaborative
learning opportunities. Corporations seek to play an increasingly important role in the activities of academic
institutions to incubate the talent they need.
Key words: Industry driven; business education; academia-industry interface
they hire, and therefore the role of Industry in the
entire business school model and industry
orientation to Business education has become
necessary [1].
The extremely dynamic business world and the
rapidly developing knowledge based service
economy have increased demand for
professionals to manage the business effectively.
And this is precisely the reason why amongst
various other fields of knowledge, the desire for
acquiring Business management qualifications is
growing, both amongst the fresh graduates and
working executives.
India has also not remained untouched by
Business management degree bug and business
education in India has been on a rapid rise in the
last one decade. In India, before the 60’s,
business education was not offered as a separate
area of specialization. Employees in the
businesses were mostly graduates or
1. INTRODUCTION
Business school faculty is slowly integrating the
Industry’s views into their curriculum. Significant
revisions in curriculum and contents are
undertaken in business schools, with an objective
of including industry recommendations. Many
Business schools in India have been inviting
executives from Industry to be the Academic
advisors and requesting the practitioners to
contribute their suggestions in framing the
syllabus/updating curriculum in order to include
the topics of present day relevance in Business
education. This is done with a view of imparting
the knowledge and skills set, needed by
graduating students in constantly changing global
business environment.
Corporations are placing growing emphasis on
finding the “right person”. This has forced the
business schools to think more carefully on whom

postgraduates in ‘Economics’ or ‘Commerce’
stream. In the 1960’s, Business education formally
started gaining importance in India by establishing
two Indian institutes of Management; IIM Calcutta
in association with Sloan School of Management
and IIM Ahmadabad with Harvard Business
School. After that there has been a relatively slow
but steady growth in number of schools and
popularity of Business education in India. A
massive upsurge in the number of business
schools was observed post 1991 when India was
liberalized and opened to the global world. Many
Multi-nationals entered India bringing with them
increased demand for professionals [2]. Business
education now moved beyond the domains of
government control with establishment of many
private institutions/B-Schools.
Indian economy was being integrated into the
world economy. As any other ambitious society,
India also started placing great importance on
commercial activities as a catalyst to socio-
economic development. Resurgent India sees
wealth creation as a great equalizer amongst all
sections of the society [3]. In such a scenario, a
knowledge worker who can work at the cutting
edge of technology, add value to the bottom-line,
and provide competitive advantage to Industry
has become a hot commodity to acquire. In
tandem with such rapidly escalating demand for
business education, in 2005, the number of
business schools in India grew to 1350 from just
130 in 1991, offering more than 75000 seats.
More than 80 percent increase in a number of
business schools is coupled with an increase in
number of students competing for admission to
the above. Each year more than 1.5 Lakh students
in India compete for admission to prestigious
business schools.
Though the very advent of business schools in
India was to cater to the demands of the Industry,
the two entities have traditionally been operating
in separate domains and as more or less isolated
islands. Their partnership is only episodic and
accidental and without any strategic intent.
However, the evolution trends of business
management education indicate that knowledge
creation is becoming more student-based. This
will usher in various changes, including
paradoxically a trend towards close interaction
among students, Industry, and the faculty.
1.1. Objective
This paper attempts to explore how Business
schools can work closely with Industry to establish
Industry driven Business education, study the
dimensions of Academia-industry partnership,
and identify possible areas where Industry’s
contribution to academia would be most effective.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Establishing industry-driven business education
through academia-industry interface is analyzed
with various reports and articles as reference.
3. RESULTS, ANALYSIS AND
DISCUSSION
3.1. Importance of establishing Industry driven
Business education:
After Globalisation it is not only Educational
Institutions coming forward to establish contact
with Industry but it is Industrialist who has realized
the major role they have to play in Educational
system. It is reflected through the keen interest
shown by the Confederation of Indian Industries
(CII) in conducting a Quality awareness
programme to academic community all over the
country [4]. Many such programmes have been
conducted all over the country (including
Bangalore) wherein they visualized without
improving the Quality of Education; Industry
cannot survive in the Global competition.
Today, the business schools have realized the
importance of ‘Industry-driven Business-
education’ for the following reasons:
● Increasing complexity in academic and
business world and constantly changing needs
of the Industry;
3. 51
● Increasing criticality of human competence in
creating and sustaining competitiveness of the
organizations;
● Shift in management paradigm of business
schools from earlier academic models to
revenue based models;
● Growing competition for student placements
and industry mind-share, with rapid increase
in the number of business schools and hence
the management graduates;
● The Industry is growing pressure to make their
fresh inductees productive from day one to
reduce the subsequent training costs.
Organizations today are looking for trained
professionals and students capable of taking
decisions. Some of the training in formative
years comes out from business corporations,
via collaborative internships with corporations
to enhance learning opportunities to students;
● Increasing interdependence between
academia and Industry to satisfy need for
sustenance and innovation in their respective
areas.
3.2. Need for Academia-Industry Interface in
Establishing Industry driven Business
Education:
Academia-industry interface could be defined as
“interactive and collaborative arrangement
between academic institutions and business
corporations to achieve certain mutually inclusive
goals and objectives”. Traditionally, business
schools were looking for placements and
internships for their students and the Industry for
fresh recruits who are well trained and equipped
with the right KSA (Knowledge, Skills and
Attitude) to contribute to the organization’s growth.
However, corporations are placing growing
emphasis on finding the “right person”. It forces
the business schools to think more carefully on
whom they hire. Therefore, the role of Industry in
the entire business school model and industry
orientation to Business education becomes
important [5].
Rather than just being the customers of business
school output today, industry has become
stakeholders and partners in progress. Industry
on the other hand has also discovered the
advantages of collaborative learning
opportunities. Corporations seek to play
increasingly important role in activities of
academic institutions to incubate the talent they
need.
3.3. Aspects of Academia-industry Interface
include:
● Greater degree of industry-school collaboration
to integrate employer’s needs into the
programmes on offer;
● Real involvement with Industry to allow
students to gain valuable practical experience
and also to facilitate development of business;
● Improve the programmes by encouraging the
participation of a number of guest speakers
who can offer their own practical experiences;
● Academic staff should be encouraged to keep
their skills updated by undertaking practical
consultancy on regular basis.
3.4. Modes of Establishing Industry driven
Business education:
There are a number of avenues, through which
Industry can orient business education (figure 1).
Some of the commonly used avenues are:
1. Guest Lectures by industry representatives.
2. Suggestions in curriculum and content
designing.
3. Executive Education and Management
Development Programmes.
4. Joint seminars by academia and Industry both
for executives and students.
5. Consulting on management and related issues
by academia.
6. Academia generating ideas and acting as
incubators to new business.
7. Inclusion of industry experts in governing
councils and other board of studies.

8. Industry providing financial and infrastructure
support to business schools for their
development.
9. Funding academic and applied research.
Figure 1: Modes of Establishing Industry-driven
Business-education
3.4.1. Guest lecturers: Guest lectures are the
most popular mode of Industry driven business
education. Guest lectures are sessions taken up
by top executives from industries in addition to
classes taken up by professional teachers. The
objective of this is to give students an overview
of industry practices and help them relate the
theory to real life applications.
3.4.2. Training and internships of students:
This method is a self-feeding method. Industry
gets a firsthand feel of students in a business
school, thus increasing their placement
opportunities and strengthening long term
relationship between the two entities. Involving
Industry in student training and internships has
become mandatory in business curriculum in
Indian business schools. All students have to
spend two months with corporate working on a
specific project to gain hands on experience.
3.4.3. Joint seminars: Joint Seminars are
considered to be an effective mode of not only
cross branding but also strengthening the
academic relationship between business school
and the Industry. They are an opportunity for
students to gain an understanding of the latest
industry trends and Industry a chance to gauge
the institute and its students for prospective
placements.
3.4.4. Executive education: Executive Education
(long-term management training programmes for
working executives) transpires preferred mode of
Industry business education. There is a
fundamental shift in business school offerings
traditional MBA programmes to more part-time
and executive education programmes. Indian
Institute of Management (IIMs) has been
extending their domains to executive education
on modular classes to facilitate executives’
involvement and strike relationship with
organizations. Management Development
Institute MDI, one of the top business schools in
India was established with the prime objective of
imparting management education to executives
and government officials.These initiatives besides
increasing the industry mind-share also fetch
revenue to business schools.
3.4.5. Management development programmes
(MDPs): Management Development Programmes
(MDP) is perceived to be one of the most effective
modes. MDP, though quite similar to Executive
education programmes are short-duration capsule
courses, which focus on a particular area or topic.
Very few institutions in India are taking the
necessary steps to develop the MDP network,
benefiting both academia and the Industry
thereby resulting in Industry driven business
education [6]. Business schools must therefore
provide MDPs for executives either as open
programs and customized company programs
thereby orienting faculties to provide best in class
education to their students. It should establish
formal contracts with industries, which invest in
their human capital through continuous or formal
training.
3.4.6. Inclusion of executives in board of
studies/academic and governing council: The
inclusion of executives in the Academic Councils/
Governing Councils and Board of Studies in
business schools is yet another preferred mode
of establishing industry orientation to Business
education. The objective of having industry
representation is to include the latter’s view in
5. 53
governance and other activities of business
schools [7]. Adorning these councils with the
known names in Industry is perceived to enhance
the image and recall value of the institution, which
not only attracts prospective students, donors and
other stakeholders but also work in favour of
business schools during ratings and rankings in
imparting business education.
3.4.7. Case writing: Case writing, which is one
of the most important aspect of Industry oriented
Business education, not only adds to current
knowledge pool but also enhances the learning
experience of students. It serves as a benchmark
study for business corporations who are either in
same stage of business cycle of similar business.
Innovations in management teaching can only be
brought about by in-depth understanding of
business processes by academicians and thought
leaders [8]. Industry, therefore has taken up an
initiative of generating knowledge by funding
business and academic research. CII has
collaborated with many business schools to
support both academic and applied research
initiatives.Though this has been perceived as one
of the best ways of collaboration, considerable
steps have not taken up by business schools in
this direction.
3.4.8. Industry involvement in faculty and
student selection: Industry involvement in faculty
and student selection is also considered to be the
preferred modes (but least preferred) of
establishing Industry driven business education.
Business schools have their own policy and rules
on recruitment and selection of students and
faculty members. Outsourcing the entire course
has been perceived quite low on its effectiveness.
Academicians feel that this particular mode is not
able to impart the conceptual underpinnings of
the issue, as practitioners tend to deal with the
issue at only the practical level from their own
perspectives, thus reducing the possibility of its
general application across situation. [9] Thus
practitioners though bring a different perspective
to the class yet do not emphasize upon
understanding of basic concepts and underlying
theories.
The business school faculty is slowly integrating
the Industry’s views into their curriculum.
Significant revisions in curriculum and contents
have undertaken in business schools, with an
objective of including industry recommendations.
Many business schools in India have been inviting
suggestions from Industry to update their
curriculum and include the topics of present day
relevance. This is done with a view of imparting
the knowledge and skills set, needed by
graduating students in constantly changing global
business environment.
Indian Business Schools have been traditionally
using guest lecture as the most preferred medium
of Industry orientation to business education.They
are not only considered as a medium to establish
industry networks, by giving latter an experience
of institute and the students and increasing
placement opportunities but also add to the
learning value for students.Two-month internships
are integral part of business curricula in India with
certain credit assigned [10]. This is seen as one
of the best methods of giving students both the
theoretical concepts and their applications and
enhancing their ability to relate the two for
decision-making purpose
4. CONCLUSION
To make Industry driven business education
possible Academia and Industry need to build
organic relationships, with long-term strategic
intent contributing to growth and development of
both the entities. Business schools have to move
beyond the phenomenon of ‘working with
employers’ towards the concept of ‘working with
partners’. The collaboration between the two is
dynamic and complex. A synergistic relationship
has to be carved between the business schools
and the Industry so that both can benefit and also
contribute to enhancing the entire teaching-
learning process. However Business schools do
not wish to be associated with Industry on their
