Abstract
The objective of this research is to determine what weaknesses and strengths agribusiness managers observe in their recent agricultural and business college-graduate employees. That is, we seek to identify “gaps” between the knowledge, skill, ability, and trait areas (KSATs) of entry-level college graduate employees and the KSATs required for successful careers in agribusiness. We do so by conducting a nationwide survey of agribusiness firms.
