Practical research
Practical research is an important research activity to conduct research collaboration with the industrial partners. Practical research aims at developing practical tools, methods, and techniques that may be used by managers to improve their operations and competitiveness of their businesses. A research centre should focus on the most recent research trend and especially in rapidly developing areas such as technological innovations and supply networks for the need of the future. This research should always look ahead of time to provide practical solutions, derived from theory or conceptual research, which may be in need in future. The research centre should provide supervision of research project for Masters and PhD programmes for those who wish to pursue their studies to a more advanced level. The research has the highest quality outputs and thus a highly selected group of graduate students embark on research work which integrates management studies with engineering, finance, economics, marketing, human resource, computer sciences, and other technology and science related disciplines.
