Abstract

In knowledge based economies, higher education and institution plays a crucial and vital role in sustaining the economic growth and development of a nation. As the economy of a country and its higher education system are closely connected within each other, the development of either one of these party boosts the other, too, in the sense that they are complement with one another. Looking forwards into logistics industry in Malaysia, it can be said as one of the essential areas of business activity to deal with. It is because in the past, the advantages of having an effective distribution system are not sensitive by most of the companies and thus has not given sufficient priority to the development of effective distribution strategies. Consequently, this study is driven by the following objectives that are to examine the issues arise in logistics industries in Malaysia and the importance of promoting the university and industry collaboration towards the logistics research centre of excellence in order to support the growth and development of logistics industries in Malaysia. Just because of several defects occur within the sector, the interaction between industry and university research centre is important to rectify such weaknesses. The method used for this conceptual paper is by reviewing the related literature. The findings of this paper would provide insights for the logistics industry that joint collaboration between the interactions with logistics research centre of excellence can be a key contributor to their growth and development.
