Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter is an overview of the many gaps accounting students demonstrate as they enter the business world. The gaps to be explored can be separated into two overall categories: technology (these gaps will be referred to in this chapter in a summary fashion as they will be addressed in detail in another chapter) and soft skills, which comprise several gaps that are centered in many ways around communication and management skills. Business demands for accounting graduates go beyond technical skills as they are viewed as future business leaders.
