Teaching Core Soft Skills into Business Curriculum: Can We Teach Longitudinally?
Varela, Otmar E.
Journal of Education for Business, v95 n3 p180-192 2020
Many have expressed concerns with respect to the development of managerial skills in business graduate programs. Time constraints and limited practice opportunities are, arguably, the key roadblocks for development. The author explores the outcomes of a course that addresses these roadblocks by providing an instruction that cuts across academic terms and utilizes core courses as settings for repetitive practice opportunities. Results support the effectiveness of the course in advancing critical thinking and oral communication skills. From the results, the author details the strengths of the course and the features that could be replicated across business schools.
