| Abstract: | Managerial skills differ considerably from other sorts of expertise in their limited standardization across industries, their susceptibility to change, their specificity to situations rather than problems and their knowledge base. These differences imply that management education and research should be more concerned with developing organizational skills and understanding than analytical skills derived from highly abstract and general models. The analysis specifies general features of managerial tasks in terms of their function in the organization and change of economic enterprises. |
