I believe that the only permanent element in the world is “change”. The global environment is changing with every single second passing. Now the students and the teachers must sharpen their skills and knowledge on the contemporary issues to keep the pace with the fast-changing environment especially in the field of management, marketing, and entrepreneurship. We have to say goodbye to the traditional diplomacy of confining students in the classroom boundaries and enable them to think out of the box by providing them on hand training in real scenarios. The boundary-less education is the call that must be heard.
I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Management Sciences Department at VU. While writing my PhD dissertation, I am convinced to promote research culture for solving our socio-economic issues. My MS is in Entrepreneurship and Small and Medium Enterprises Management from Government College University, Lahore and I have done my MBA with majors in marketing from University of Central Punjab, Pakistan. My area of interest is Service Dominant Logic and Service Science. |
