Business Case – Researchrelated to higher education trends suggest college students do not readcourse textbooks and other assigned course content. Drawing from thisliterature, business research suggest this might provide a reason forundergraduate business majors “gaps” in terms of not understanding theirdiscipline/declared major specific knowledge and skills expected byindustry. Some examples of these “knowledge/skill gaps” include but arenot limited to: preparing routine business – written documents orpresentations, utilizing specific knowledge/skills related to team-basedprojects and demonstrating an awareness of workplace issuesrelated to their declared majors, e.g. generations, technological,cultures, genders, etc., which might impede business communications orperformance on team-based projects.

Task: Investigatewhether graduating undergraduate business majors are equipped withindustry expected skills. Your team can investigate using (national)data about graduating undergraduate business majors -or- specific(local) data.

Establishyour position (agree, disagree, neutral).
