Connecting Business Research to Practice

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Markets are a strong mechanism that force entrepreneurs to produce outputs that are useful to customers.

Universities need to switch their focus towards research that will benefit practicing entrepreneurs and business people, rather than their own citation count.
