Nevertheless, the publication is often crucial for career and research advancement to achieve grants, academic qualifications, or all these drives. This article stimulates research motivation and satisfy research urge among business school students. The primary roles of business students in conducting research are to increase knowledge in the discipline and provide evidence for informing and advancing business styles, policies, and implications to develop economic outcomes for society.
