Abstrakt: The objective of this study is to assess from an employer's perspective the desired profile of Moroccan business students. Using data from Akhawayn University in Morocco and a regression analysis to explore the relationships among the performance dimensions, the results show that Moroccan businesses tend to value in their entry-level managers their understanding of organizations. Furthermore, businesses value the ability to solve problems and communicate effectively. This study concludes by offering a conceptual framework to close the gap between business expectations and business education in different cultural settings and to provide a context for future research in this important area.
