This paper is focusing on make a
discussion regarding “Why Sri Lankan University education system is still rely upon foreign
company profiles, without taking examples to the arena from mother
country.” This discussion might leads to identify various aspects of the
issue and hopefully it is important to Undergraduates, Lecturers, Business
community and any other institution or person who really interested in field.
Most of the theories that used in
subjects specially related to commerce stream (Management, Marketing
Entrepreneurship etc) were originated from foreign countries. Simply it is rare
to find theories, case studies or books which initiated from Sri Lankan context
for the use of undergraduates and it is required them to depend on translations
of foreign books or research papers etc.
Since all of those theories are
studied and developed in foreign countries, there is no any assurance that all
of them are applicable in global context. However the significant issue is that
even though those theories and studies are not fully match with Sri Lankan
context, we were directly imported them with the practical examples too. The
adverse effect of this practice is that the Sri Lankan University
Undergraduates are highly aware about companies like GENERAL MOTERS, TOYOTA,
and UNITED PARCEL SERVISE etc without having a simple knowledge about the
number of companies which listed in Sri Lanka Stock Exchange (CSE). There is no
any doubt that most of the university undergraduates are face the same problem
where there is no proper way or guidance to change this studying pattern.
It is hard to define who made that
mistake, but this issue is needed to be addressed by some party who able
provide better solution. It is identified following reasons as a narrow
approach to this issue.
Ø No any professional body or
institution to
formulate particular information.
Ø Sri Lankan Companies are still not
developed to a level which
able to
provide such
examples to elaborate those theories.
Ø Students do not eager to search such examples from Sri Lankan
context
because the trend is
not familiar to them.
Ø Lecturers haven’t any reliable
sources to provide solid and
reliable
examples for
students.
Ø Sri Lankan Business community is
hindering their information to
the
public due to
competition and business objectives.
This is open invitation to make your comments, ideas,
arguments and suggestions that related
to the particular issue to make it as a broad discussion
