Linking research to practice
To increase industrial relevance of research
The Management Tool R&D centre takes a distinctive approach to link research to real industrial practice by carrying out practical research to enhance the value-adding capability of manufacturing and service companies, including:
· Creating tools and techniques to improve the operational performance of manufacturing and service businesses
· Pursuing the application of latest technology in support of the management and development of innovative new products and services
· Growing the body of knowledge in management to facilitate the shift from labour-intensive economy to knowledge- or capital-intensive economy
· Developing and promoting a coherent view of manufacturing and service business from both the strategic and operation perspectives
· Maintaining a high level of industrial involvement, leading to practical outputs for companies
· Producing managers (at undergraduates, postgraduates, and post-experience levels) that are outstanding, down-to-earth, and practically oriented people.

Human, Equipment, and Environmental Interface
Researchers are someone who is “concerned with the design, installation, and improvement of integrated systems of people, machine, and workplace by drawing upon specialised knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of management to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems”.
Focus on a real world perspective rather than on an academic disciplinary perspective.
In the centre, we conduct both theoretical and applied research. However, we focus on building theory from practice. The academic boundary distinctions among multiple disciplines will gradually disappear and migrate to a setting that is defined by business processes rather than discipline. What is important to us is our impact on business results rather than on particular disciplines. The diverse disciplinary theories, concepts, and knowledge becomes valuable when it is applied and we see its instrumentality for achieving positive business results.
