Quantitative and computer skills employers want vs. what the business curriculum can provide

Abstract

Employers expect today’s undergraduates to possess a certain level of math and computer skills to do their jobs well. Are we, as business programs, providing them with the information and experiences that they need to meet those expectations? Our motivation for this research study is twofold: (a) to prepare our students to be competitive in the workplace and (b) to make the highest and best use of their time while in the program.
