Current US skills courses are strongly influenced by studies done in the US. Are they relevant for international managers? This study identifies and com pares skills seen as important in US and international literature. It concludes that: 1) while most skills currently covered are relevant for international managers, they need to be extended to international settings, and 2) current skills courses need to add a component on entry skills. Implications for skill teaching are discussed.
