Description

A set of business-program teaching materials developed by Chen (2005) from practical competencies identified for technical-university graduates. The former study "invited 30 experienced supervisors and personnel from the business circle to participate in three Delphi questionnaire surveys", yielding "the 70 professional and practical competencies needed by graduates of the business program", which "had transformed the competencies into 15 courses". In this study the human resource management unit's materials and local cases were taught to the experimental group for three weeks.
