Abstract
Four major trends that will affect future management education are identified, and data from a study of MBAs is used to develop a perspective on how management education needs to change to address these concerns. Critical future skills include written and oral communication, people skills, analytic skills, a broad perspective on management, and technical knowledge. The findings of this study support the need for greater integration of specific types of skills into the MBA or undergraduate management curriculum. Implications of these findings for management education are discussed.Keywords
