It gives me great pleasure to send this congratulatory message to the SLIIT Business School (SBS) on the occasion of launching the inaugural issue of the research journal, “SLIIT Business Review”. Since its inception, SBS has demonstrated a solid commitment to research. The publication of this journal reflects the leadership position occupied by SBS in business research in Sri Lanka and beyond.
Under the leadership of Prof. Samantha Thelijjagoda, Dean SBS, the research output of SBS has increased substantially, and papers authored by SBS staff have appeared in leading research journals of the world. Many initiatives are underway to strengthen the research stature and output further. Notable amongst these are research partnerships with leading corporates of Sri Lanka and international collaborations. I am confident that these initiatives will also strengthen the reputation of this journal and attract research articles from the corporate sector and international institutions.
The journal is a timely and strategic initiative of SBS. I wish the Editor and the Editorial Board continued success with the journal.
