A well-rounded education for global world

Globalization is causing business leaders to call for new competencies. Global leaders need to understand the factors that shape international interactions in their businesses and explore the cross-country differences and their effects. These new realities demonstrate that workers seeking careers in entrepreneurship will all require global knowledge and skills. The authors present theoretical studies and research, also analyzing the needs of intercultural competence. The results of studies show that intercultural competence cannot be acquired in a short space of time. It is a lifelong process which needs to be addressed explicitly in learning and teaching in university. The goal of intercultural education should be to help students become globally literate. It is indeed in today's large emerging markets that the war for talent, has become most acute.
