Online discussion forum on Business Schools during Covid-19 was conducted by NBEAC on 9^th of February 2021 via Zoom. Some of the senior most speakers were invited on the discussion forum including Dr. Irfan Hayder, Dr. Faheem Ghazanfar, Dr. Niaz Bhutto, Dr. Shahid Mir, Dr. Muhammad Zaki, Dr. Naveed Yazdani and Dr. Jawad syed. Speakers shared experiences their respective institutions faced during the time of transition due to pandemic (Covid 19). While there were so many challenges faced due to covid-19 it also provided us with the bundle of opportunities to get ready for any unforeseen events or situations that may arise anytime anywhere in the current rapidly changing global scenario. The session concluded with remarks from Dr Shahid Mir in which he focused that we have to work on value systems and for that we have to follow the strong leadership. We have to take business and business education to that value system which should be reflected in outcomes and in every aspect of actions. Value system is a universal system and is implemented worldwide and those who follows that system become the role models. Dr. Niaz Bhutto added that we should keep in mind the uncertainty and we should accept and adopt the changes keeping in view the resource constraints also. Resource sharing system should be introduced in universities for resource sharing to other universities who have less resources and good governance system should be implemented. Health care system have been introduced in universities and we have to think about it further that what type of health support system should be introduced in universities to cater any kind of pandemic or Covid like emergency situation. Dr. Zaki added as Pandemic has given us challenges it gives us opportunities also to think out of the box.

Around 40 participants from all over the country participated in this discussion forum including senior management, faculty and other administrative representatives from different institutions.
