In
Pakistan an effort is being made to separate management from ownership
to ensure greater disclosure, improve corporate governance and protect
the interests of all stakeholders. To achieve all these no one can
undermine the importance of professional managers being produced by
the business schools in Pakistan. The quality of graduates depends on
quality of faculty, curriculum and infrastructure. There is a need for
'Accreditation' by an independent and autonomous agency and laying
down minimum standards and their compliance.

CORRECTION
There
was a factual mistake in the interview of Roland Blaney, Country
Commercial Manager, British Airways, published in our issue number 31.
It should be read, " British Airways operates three weekly Boeing
777 flights between Islamabad and London." We regret any
inconvenience caused to British Airways and our readers.
