Abstract

Today’s successful manager must stay abreast with important global trends and should possess the needed managerial competence in information technology, cross-functional abilities, leadership, emotional intelligence, finance, quantitative techniques, communication, interpersonal relationship, and cross-cultural transactions. This correlation study investigated if the students of Master in Business Administration in various graduate schools in Davao City have been upholding these competencies. A self-assessment questionnaire was used to measure perceived global trends cognition and management competencies of the students. This study that included students who were holding supervisory positions in their respective companies evaluated their self-perceived global trends cognition as only adequate or satisfactory and so with their self-perceived managerial competence. The data indicated a strong association between variables (r=0.79). Squaring the correlation coefficient denoted that 62 percent of the variation in managerial competence was explained by global trends cognition. The satisfactory level of the participants for both variables pointed out that they had not yet attained the highest level in their cognition of global trends and competence in the management of their respective organizations.
