Anticipating labor force needs
Article Abstract:
Marketing education has the advantage of remaining up-to-date with international changes in technology and economics, but needs to implement more changes faster to cope with the pace of change through the 1990s into the 21st century. While marketing education has integrated changes such as team expansion, leadership skills, marketing technology, active problem solving and a core curriculum, a global perspective still needs to be added. Students must be trained to deal with global economics by learning foreign languages and developing cross-cultural awareness of marketing, politics and business in other countries.

Task force
Article Abstract:
Research on the organisation of the largest US corporations reveals a move away from the traditional bureaucratic approach with its emphasis on hierarchies and clear-cut jobs towards a competency-based approach. Job descriptions are increasingly being replaced with defined sets of competencies identifying the technical and organisational skills employees must possess. The competency-based approach requires individuals to possess a number of skills and leads to the hiring of people as employees rather than to do a job. This approach forms the basis of Britain's National Vocational Qualifications.
