Abstract/ Summary
Business school graduates are expected to enter industry with the ability to communicate effectively. This study identifies business school learning outcomes surrounding presentation skills and reviews the literature on the integration of presentation skills into the business school curriculum. Business students, faculty and practitioners were surveyed on a variety of issues regarding presentations. The study finds that students are given some instruction in business-style presentation, but prepare the majority of their presentations in a different manner than do practitioners. Faculty and business practitioners disagree on whether recent graduates have adequate oral communication skills.
