ABSTRACT

Accountability for developing transferable skills in business education has received growing attention in recent years as business schools face increasing competition, student demands, and scrutiny from governing bodies (Melton 1997). Individuals pursuing a business education at an institution of further education-whether via a four-or five-year undergraduate degree or a master of business administration (MBA)—rely on their institution to develop key skills useful in their careers. Obtaining a business education involves developing strong analytical and written communication skills, as well as gaining an up-to-date, theoretical, and practical knowledge of business on an international basis.
