| Abstract: | The historical undervaluing of skills in business and management degrees has led to a widening gap between the skills that employers require and those that graduates provide. Given the resources needed to develop skills and the increasing pressures on higher education , new ideas are needed to close the gap. This article presents a test of a peer-review method of developing oral presentation skills. The experimental results clearly show that the peer-review method leads to significantly improved presentation performance and as such may be valuable in enhancing skills within curricula where separate presentation skills courses are not viable. |
