Abstract

This research aims to identify the key technical, behavioral, and operational skills that business administration professors consider fundamental in the training of future administrators. It is based on the premise that market demands require professionals who are aligned with the transformations inherent in today’s evolving landscape.

The results highlight a set of fundamental skills that should be strengthened throughout the training process in order to align academic practice with contemporary market needs. This research aims to provide both theoretical and practical insights that can be applied in academic and corporate contexts.
