    (2011) Pandey, A.C.; Adhikari, S.
    The quality of higher education is a multifactor process. The governments, the management of institutions, the faculty, the students and the external quality assurances organizations- each of these interest groups have to play an important role in the provision of quality in higher education. A good educational model is the need of the hour to ensure the growth of budding managers and future leaders of the corporate can be created only by an effective synthesis of academic theory, business practices and industrial experience. The management education should be based on practical or simulated and effective case studies by quality faculty, latest ICT facilities and infrastructure. The skills required by the corporate for the future mangers should be contained with the up-to-date syllabi and industry-academic interaction. If quality faculties backed by the educational infrastructure are provided, only then one can expect a strong superstructure in future. There is need of convergence of these components into one and then only delivery of it can be made to all its stakeholders effectively. The strategic model of I-S has been proposed to combat the ongoing battle of quality and employment considerations of its stakeholders.

    LEARNING STYLE ORIENTATION AMONG MARKETING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP UNDERGRADUATES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO UNIVERSITY OF RUHUNA, SRI LANKA
    (2010) Rupasinghe, L.R.; Buddhika, S.A.
    Recent efforts to improve higher education have focused on improving the learning process in education. Although researchers have recognized the importance of designing tailor made learning programmes to individuals there have being limited attention paid to identify individual?s preferences in learning. The implications for faculties are significant since otherwise those faculties are likely to reach only some of the students in a given course if they assume that all students learn the same way or that one teaching approach will connect with all students. The situation is more evident in Sri Lankan context where there are very few formal studies in this area. Therefore the objective of this research is to find out learning style orientation of Management graduates in order to try to fill the above knowledge gap. In fact learning style orientation is bridging the gap between personality and cognition thus the learning would be more effective as well as enduring. In order to measure learning style orientation research employed Learning Style Orientation Inventory (LSOI). Sample consists of 50 undergraduates belonging to Marketing and Entrepreneurship specialization area. The study was conducted as a survey. It was observed that across all learning styles respondents who are following Entrepreneurship specialization area has recorded higher mean scores. Moreover research accepted the alternative hypothesis which stated that there are significant differences among learning styles when it come to Marketing & Entrepreneurship undergraduates.
