On the other hand, they found that the two-specific competency categories that
managers had nominated as the most important to managerial work (managing human
capital and managing decision-making processes) tended to be the least covered in terms
of required course coverage. In terms of relative emphasis,MBA required curricula tended
to be more heavily weighted to courses focusing on other competencies (managing
administration and control, managing the task environment, managing logistics and
technology); competencies that are relevant, but less critical, to the actual performance of
managerial work
