“…Listening, speaking (in the formal and informal context of a business), reading, and writing are the most commonly used constructs of BPC skills (Ober, 2009). However, several researchers have argued that BPC skills are much more comprehensive because mastery over these four basic constructs is no guarantee for success at the workplace (Lanier et al, 1997; Roebuck, 2001; Tanyel et al, 1999). Starting with this premise, Conrad and Newberry (2012) reviewed about 200 business writing (articles, books, etc.)…”

“…Wiemann (1977) described communication skills regarding the ability to choose between different available communicative behaviors, in a way that successfully fulfils the users' interpersonal goals. Several studies have underscored the need for business education to include development of communication skills in the curriculum in order to address the apparent gap between the graduates' skills level and what is desired by the business industry (Lanier et al, 1997;Tanyel, Mitchell & McAlum, 1999;Roebuck, 2001;Kamal, 2015). Here Kamal (2015) points out that nine communication skills are required by managers, namely active listening skills, writing skills, verbal skills, interpersonal communication skills, teamwork skills, presentation skills, selling skills, negotiation skills and networking skills.…”

A theoretical model to measure managerial competence was developed by evaluating two previous models with similar aims. In addition to the original eight management competencies, another eight competencies were identified and applied to determine the management competencies needed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution with its fast-changing business environment. The article narrows down eleven management competencies and develops measuring criteria for each; in total 42 criteria. The eleven business competencies are leading change, cultural intelligence, team building, conflict management, communication skills, a global leader mindset, emotional intelligence, career awareness, personal value system, and external and ethical influences. The model is a theoretical model and presents management competencies relevant to the modern business environment. The value of this study resides in a strong theoretical basis for postmodern business environmental skills that managers need to maintain completeness of their organizations as well as providing a sound point of departure for other researchers of managerial competence.

“…Lanier and Tanner (1997) report that the results of a survey of 166 management faculty revealed the general view that incoming management students are deficient in writing, verbal and mathematical skills; a majority of the faculty surveyed believed that students of today are not as motivated to learn as their predecessors. Lanier and Tanner (1997) further note that these findings are consistent with those previously reported in the areas of accounting and marketing. Rao (1995) notes the change in the composition of graduate economic courses; in 1992 more than half the students were foreign students.…”
