Introduction Management education all over the world is undergoing a sea-change in accommodating and updating the unheeded and unobserved paradigms through collaborations and international exchange programs. Management education constantly strives to uplift the standard of curriculum development and delivery to meet high expectations of the ever changing needs and demands from stakeholders, globally. It is passing through a defining time to establish itself firm in the tough and 'hard to negotiate' marketplace thereby ensuring to meet the global standards and practices in the arena of management teaching. There is a need for exploration of new classroom teaching methodologies through research-oriented approach and thus, paving way for the creation of new-knowledge and applications for all stakeholders involved.

To quote Werner van Braun,

Research is what I am doing when I dont know what I am doing.

Going by the scientific definition, Research is the systematic investigation into and study of materials and source in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Research is often considered to be rhetorical while in true sense of nature it is an approach with a futuristic vision. Research in general is thought to be associated with science and technology but it goes unnoticed that even to do our grocery shopping we do a research to know which product is the best suited according to our needs. Depending on our area of investigation research takes various forms being Scientific, Humanities or Artistic. Research in itself is derived from the Middle French word recherch which means to go about seeking. While the qualitative research talks about human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior, the quantitative research emphasis on the numerical data and uses statistical methods. Technically research can be considered a strategy which includes a set of steps which are critically important starting from Identification of problem to communicating the research findings. Communication of research finding is done by academic publishing which is a system that is necessary in order for academic scholars to peer review the work and make it available for a wider audience. Todays findings from the Building blocks for tomorrows invention; hence it is of utmost importance that the research findings are recorded effectively. In addition, it also avoids plagiarism which is one of the most common pitfalls of modern day research. As the saying goes, Nothing in life comes free for any form of research to be carried out a proper funding source is required.

There are innumerous funding agencies across the globe for different fields be it science, art, management, humanities etc which constantly provide support and motivates innovation, as rightly stated by Mr. Bill Gates, I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.

If we look at the modern day business, Research and Development forms the foundation for the growth and expansion. It fosters creativity and helps in sustainability in the market. Research is the face of change in any organization and change is the only constant come what may.The way to do research is to attack the facts at the point of greatest astonishment. Celia Green
