Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM) Acting Director Dr. Ajantha S. Dharmasiri addressing the faculty and the staff at this momentous

occasion, said that the initiation of the doctoral scholarship under the PIM-UNSW Partnership Program would set in motion the much needed research culture at the PIM in particular, as the country would ultimately be benefited by enriching the practices, concepts and theories of management. For bringing about this desired change especially in the field of research he profusely appreciated the contributions of both Dr. A.K.L. Jayawardana and Prof. J.A.S.K. Jayakody.
