A recent report, Global Graduates into Global Leaders (2011) identifies the skills, knowledge,
and attitudes required in the global world of work and comments:
The market for high-skilled graduates is becoming increasingly global... Globalised
businesses require talent to compete in global marketplaces and have higher
expectations of graduates. The significant growth and development in emerging markets,
particularly the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) nations, means that to complete
effectively UK organisations must take the global view and seek out new opportunities in
these markets.
