Being an old member and Chairperson of Karachi Chapter, I have witnessed the benefits it has brought to the educational fraternity as a whole with its great participation in national and international conferences, and seminars. These contributions have created awareness about the management as an important domain contributing to the economic and business developments both nationally and internationally. The emerging field of management requires rapid adaptation to contest with international standards and modernization in this context. The Board Members of AMDIP are prominent personalities in their respective fields and belong to a diverse background across the country. They are contributing significantly to the cause of management education through the platform of AMDIP. I would be happy to add value to the forum and work towards the mission and vision of the association in collaboration my colleagues in the board.

This academia-academia and industry-academia linkage has yielded fruits for developing countries whereas Pakistan is yet to start this journey. AMDIP is a platform for the business schools to unite and learn each other’s best practices which ultimately benefit all the member schools. Through the platform of AMDIP we would work with all business schools and promote inclusiveness. Collaboration between the institutions is the key to address the problems to modern world. Business schools in Pakistan need to work together to achieve excellence and devise different ways of strengthening industry linkages. AMDIP shall work with key stakeholder from Industry including CEOs and MDs from national and multinational organizations to realign curriculum, pedagogy, and overall suitability of graduates for national and international corporations. We will also work on capacity building of faculty through different initiative like teacher exchange programs, learning camps, curriculum sharing and granting access of lab and libraries to schools which are member of this distinguish platform of AMDIP.

The field of business education in Pakistan would tremendously benefit from collaborative thinking and collective learning leading to overall development of teaching and research in years to come. The institutional boundaries are significantly important and define the existence and ensure sustainability as well as unique competitive superiority. But there is a limit to growth within boundary. The cross institutional linkages and bridges can lead to such value addition and enrich experiences which cannot be gained otherwise. I earnestly appeal to the leadership of the business schools to engage their respective institution with AMDIP and utilize this forum for interaction and joint activities. This would be beneficial for students and faculty as well as corporate sector. We need to simply follow how associations of business schools in USA (AACSB) and Europe (EFMD) and in our neighboring country India (IMA) have evolved over a period of time and addressed the needs of the field of business education. The work of this association has helped business schools transform themselves into quality institutions, train leadership, and creatively respond to the challenges. AMDIP just has to emulate AACSB and EFMD in terms of its organizational structure and strategies given the context of the landscape of business education in Pakistan. I hope that this restart would lead to a new life and ever growing and expanding institutional existence benefiting all stakeholders of business education.
