Hi all,
I am teaching a business communication class this semester to graduate students in a global MBA program. Most of the students are Chinese, with others coming from Uzbekistan, the Philippines, and a couple of native-English speaking teachers at the university. This is the second time I've taught it, and most of the class is going to focus on writing and presentation skills.
However, for those of you who have taken such a class or are in business, what do you think is the most important thing that should be taught?
Was there any one invaluable skill or lesson in the class you took?
Is there something that was not covered in your class that, after entering the workforce, you wish had been?
If case studies were used, did you find them valuable in real life?
For those of you in management, what skills do you find lacking in new hires?
Thanks in advance for any input.
