ABSTRACT
U.S. business schools have been criticized as a source of the international competitiveness problem faced by American businesses. Of particular concern in the study is International Financial Management (IFM). This paper details the results of a survey of teachers of IFM who ranked validated IFM competencies for both the importance that is currently given and the importance which should be given. All but one of the 93 competencies had a higher mean score for the importance that should be given than for the importance currently given. This indicates that these IFM competencies should be given more emphasis in the future.
