Abstract

This chapter examines ways in which industry and academia collaboration can happen, keeping in mind the current generation of graduating students, current business needs, and global market competition. Mainly IT, ITES and BPO industries are in the scope, although BPO is given more focus owing to huge growth that is happening in Indian BPO industry. BPO work demystification and its impact on the Gen-Y workforce are addressed, which plays an important role in building paradigms that enhance academic collaboration. Some best practices happening currently are mentioned and recommendations suggested. In addition, the benefits of collaboration to both industry and academia, challenges involved in implementation, and exceptions to some of these approaches are discussed. Some case studies are explained in detail.
