Business graduate-ness and work-readiness: a comparative analysis of public and private universities in Bangladesh
Akter, Hasina1.
Quality education is a crucial component of human capital, which has emerged large in
the theories explaining economic growth, in particular, and the development discourse, in general.
However, in the new era of business today business studies are prime choices of most of the
students, and accordingly, this study focuses merely on the quality of business education. This
study compares public and private universities in terms of their efficacy in offering business
education focusing on five major factors, namely developing business professionalism, updated
curriculum, practical orientation, creating entrepreneurial ability and mindset, employability of
business graduates. Data used in this study is primary as well as secondary. Primary data have
collected from 600 respondents – 300 from each category of universities. Different statistical tools,
such as Chi-square test and two sample t-test, have been applied for analysing the data. Findings
reveal that private universities slightly better perform in terms of developing business
professionalism, updated curriculum, and creating entrepreneurial mindset. However, what most
importantly matter are practical orientation and employability, in which public universities are
more prompt compared to their private counterparts.
