The paper develops a new model of the essential factors required to be a top business school in the world for the benefit of schools recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) in Pakistan. Globally, top business schools are those that excel in research, attract strong faculty, and successfully foster student development. The present research considers these factors in relation to HEC recognition; HECs stringent criteria are disliked by many educational entrepreneurs, for whom the profit motive can sometimes trump the delivery of high-quality programs, resulting in the awarding of spurious degrees.HECs criteria are intended to prevent situations like this, which became increasingly common in Pakistan and reduced educational quality. Under HEC recognition, top business schools and programs can once again be recognized. However, many business schools in Pakistan still have unqualified faculty, poor student development, and little or no research output. The present study shows that business schools in Pakistan can only survive if they explicitly or implicitly follow criteria based on the Faculty, Research, Use of Technology, Corporate Office, and Extracurricular Activities (FRUCE) model presented herein. The main motivation for presenting the FRUCE model is to help Pakistani business schools meet international standards.As context, this research also reports on the slow progress of some universities in achieving adequacy in the areas included in the FRUCE model, including not only the areas mentioned above but also administration/governance and advising. The FRUCE model has the ability to address all these areas.
Higher education institutes Industry Academia Internship University-based Incubation Field trips This study investigates the current practices in higher education institutes and gap reduction between Industry and Academia. This study is based on literature review its objective is to review the current practices in higher education institutes and points out gaps. This reduced gap will balance demand and supply of graduates to industry and it has been practically observed that industry always complains for qualified graduates according to their expectations. Current practices in higher education institutes such as Internships, University based Incubation (UBI), Case study teaching and field trips. In this research paper systematic review approach of literature has been adopted for the conclusion of this study. All relevant studies published on this topic current practices and industry-academia from 1970 to 2014 was identified from database such as Google, Scopus and Web of science in various forms such as book, research articles, reports and websites. Based on results through literature review, current all studied practices can help to reduce gap between Industry and Academia. In previous studies researchers explored current studied practices individually. This research paper will help a triangle such as higher education institutes, industries and graduates for better mutual based relationship in future. This study can be extended in comparative analysis between developed and less developed countries. Contribution/ Originality: This study is based on literature review its objective is to review the current practices in higher education institutes and points out gaps. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Industry-University Partnership and Collaboration Nowadays higher education is considering Industry-University linkage very important and significant of both levels institutional level as well national level. According to Esham (2008) such linkage cannot be ignored and that not only confirmed to the human development but also research and development, innovation and technology transfer also possible to great extent. Hill claims that past practices are not enough in today's competitive environment and major changes are required at university level (Hill, 2006). Another study (Schartinger, 2002) they also enforced that higher institutes must change basic academic structure in order to produce competitive graduates as per industry requirement. There are many ways to achieve this objective but industry-university
Four potato varieties-Cardinal, Desiree, Multa and Patrones were tested by irradiating at 0.10 kGy and subsequent storage for 2 months at 20°C and ambient conditions (30-45°C). nte results revealed that rotting during 2 months was markedly more in potatoes stored at ambient temperatures (60-85W) than at 20°C (3-5%) depending on the variety. l?te weight loss ranged 12-4096 at ambient conditions and 4-11% at 20°C. Influence of storage temperatures on reducing sugars, ascorbic acid and sensory scores was variable. Radiation treatment inhibited sprouting, slightly increased the rot and ascorbic acid losses, decreased weight loss and improved the sensory quality of potato chips. In a subsequent semi-commercial trial involving 8 tons of Cardinal and Patrones potatoes carried out at 20°C there was higher rot (20-452) and weight loss (28-51 %) in unirradiated than in irradiated samples having rot 1740% and weight loss 20-30% during 6 months storage. Effect of radiation and storage was severe on ascorbic acid but negligible on sugars. Sensory quality was improved as a result of radiation treatment. l?te data on transportation trial showed higher losses in using jute-bags and truck than wooden crates and railway train. l%e cost economics for food irradiation based on a source strength of 100 kCi was Rs.60.0 ($4.0) per ton.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
