Business schools should examine state institutions and recommend changes

View(s):

A senior Minister has urged business schools in the country to examine the operation of all government institutions in the country and make recommendations to eliminate inefficiency, waste and corruption.

This, according to Dr. Sarath Amunugama, Science, Technology, Research, Skills Development, and Vocational Training and Kandyan Heritage, would help to improve their performance so that the tax paying public will get their money’s worth and the country can be transformed into a modern forward looking one.

He was speaking as the Chief Guest at the recent inauguration of the International Conference on Business Innovation organised by NSBM, the Green University, at Homagama.

The Minister while thanking NSBM for organising the conference, complimented it for being perhaps the best business school in the country, at present. The minister pointed out that there is fierce competition in the field of business schools and that a great effort is needed to stay ahead.

Dr. Amunugama, according to a media release issued by the ministry, had noted that business schools must impart the latest and best knowledge available to their students and said that this required the continuous sifting of the creation of new knowledge that is going on all the time, throughout the world.

The minister referred to the phenomenon of ‘information over-load’ and said that it is the duty of all educational institutions, including business schools to have systems going, to sift through this continuous stream of new knowledge, separating out the essential from the non essential and transfer the best to their students in the teaching-learning process.
