Economics and business administration post-graduates in transition from university to work: Labor market success factors

Bijker, M. M., Van der Klink, M. R., & Boshuizen, H. P. A. (2012, 13-17 April). Economics and business administration post-graduates in transition from university to work: Labor market success factors. Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Education Research Association (AERA), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.Due to rapid economic changes employers require more versatile competences from post-graduates in economics and business administration.
