Abstract

The study presented in this chapter aims to improve our understanding of the skills employers consider valuable for the digital era and the gaps between those skills and the existing ones in the workplace. The findings presented are based on interviews with forty business executives in the U.S. and Europe. The skills these business executives reported as important in the digital era fall into four categories: digital competence, business acumen, leadership effectiveness, and personal effectiveness. These categories are discussed along with proposals aiming to contribute to effective business school curricula in the digital era.
