This document discusses bridging the gap between business schools and industry. It notes there is a gap between the ad-hoc management styles of family-owned businesses and the behaviors taught in business schools. It suggests several ways for schools and industry to interact more closely, such as through modules, guest lectures, case studies, and industrial visits to help prepare students. The document advocates for students to consider becoming entrepreneurs after graduation by starting businesses locally with financing assistance and guidance from business schools and industry groups. It provides examples of potential industrial projects students could undertake in the Mangalore region.
