    I am looking for studies of the competencies and skills employers want, need
    or expect from undergraduate business management majors upon graduation.

    Thanks,

    Gabe,

    Employers seek evidence of basic knowledge and skill in critical thinking,
    business communications, interpersonal relationships (LMX, MMX, CWX), maturity,
    honesty, and personal hygiene (Graen 1989), Unwritten Rules for Your
    Career, Wiley.

    Gabe: See the book, 10 Things Employers Want You to Learn in College, by Bill Coplin of Syracuse U. I found it to be very helpful. Paul Lyons, Frostburg State University
