Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Academicians not working with corporates?
I think Dr. Usha Gowri has aptly put a corporate organization's point of view with regards to associating with academicians in different capacities. One other aspect that I had experienced as chairman of an institution is that whenever we requested executives from Industry to address our students in or the other context, they were willing to oblige without any expectation in return but we failed to take advantage of this acquaintance to convert it into a longer lasting relationship. Long back in year 1984, I had introduced 'On Job Training' for management students of the University and as president of Indore Management Association, I was able to place all 60 students in different industry with a stipend. I had requested the Director to associate or more faculty members to interact as interface with the industry and the student and keep guiding the student as also making request to concerned executive to ensure maximum learning for the students. Since there was no move from the institution, this became a kind of part time Job for both the students and the industry and MBA program practically became a part time MBA. Net result was that the program died its own death within two years because students were left out to fend for themselves to find a job as the program was neither backed by IMA nor its members.

What are our academicians and their affiliating institutions short of ? Competence? Skill? Poor reputation?:
I was fortunate( unfortunate?) to work in two entirely different environments and can say this with a lot of conviction-the way the academician thinks and works is very different from the way a corporate manager thinks and works .Beginning with something as simple and complex as language/lingo used to the way a thought is constructed to the way it is expressed to the way we focus outcomes-all are poles apart.
So much so when I moved to the corporate world I had to unlearn re learn open communication,of expressing what I had in mind openly and straighforward-ly. The speed of work is unique .We work as individuals in academics-we better be teams in the corporate world.Knowledge is from the book and knowledge has to be coupled with skill and hands on ...I could go on.....We don't have registers because it is expected of everyone to be accountable and responsible-otherwise out you go. Tenure makes life cushy in academics.I can churn out a 20 years 'notes' in class- updating is the name of the game for survival in the corporate both for the organisation and the individual .
Bridging this wide chasm requires dexterity.What the guy in the field requires is sharing of experiences-hard core experience and to learn from mistakes. Academicians who went out and soiled their hands win hands down like say in the IIM where consulting is big time crown

Sorry. There are some textual errors in the previous post!
Unlike what is happening in Europe and USA, corporates are reluctant to take academicians into confidence and involve them in the research that relates to their business issues ( that require research).

If it is so, how can academicians reconcile( bridge) with corporates? If Indian corporates are not used to ( no culture of accessing academicians' skills) working with academicians, why not foreign companies that operate in India work with academicians.
Many corporate honchos that connect with this forum may deliberate on what academicians lack? Why Indian corporate don't need academicians' inputs vis-a-vis foreign companies on foreign turf work closely with academicians?
