Abstract:
Research in business education continues to emphasise the importance of developing curricula that make explicit and support students’ acquisition of skills and knowledge. Increasingly businesses want graduates to be able to manage a project, work in a team, and communicate and persuade – both orally and in writing. A recent report from the Association of Business Schools (ABS, 2014) highlights the fact that employers expect business schools to develop graduates who can contribute positively from the start of their employment. They highlight the value of experiential learning as a means to developing skills and a business ready global mind-set attuned to diversity. The ABS (2014) research report highlights the people-management skills which employers look for in new managers; the ability to have difficult conversations about performance with peers and the related skills of reflection and self-awareness are highlighted.
