A research on how to revitalize Pakistan's entrepreneurial ecosystem in perspective of academia and the education sector thereby taking measures to reduce the entrepreneurial deficit in the country

Abstract

This research project examines in detail the entrepreneurial ecosystem in perspective of its academic component. Pakistan today is faced with, along with a number of other social and political issues, consistently declining entrepreneurial activity which is so vital for any economy in the world today. Needless to say, such activities are a source of foreign exchange; contribute towards creation of jobs and circulation/ flow of money which is very vital for any economy in general and Pakistan’s fate in particular. However, along with a lot of other components of the ecosystem, the academic perspective which is so vital to help prepare students and inculcate a sense of entrepreneurship in them is practically far from ideal. This research discusses exactly the same sensitive issue and makes recommendations on what needs to be done. This project is written and completed by Emad ur Rehman and Muneeb Wasti on 20th of October 2012 under supervision of Mr. Aqeel Israr.
