Applying the Network-Centric Competition concept in academic-industry collaboration
October 31, 2009I was invited to share my view in how academic-industry collaboration could be further enhanced during the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia International Management Accounting Conference 5 in Kuala Lumpur recently.
In short, I proposed the academicians to sell the idea that they could be part of the knowledge based and external networks to enterprises. Given the challenges faced by enterprises, academicians could be to the table their research capabilities that would help to enhance the knowledge-based on which industry players could compete. Given that we are in the knowledge economy, academicians are natural partners to those who wish to transform knowledge and insights into competitive edge.
