We have seen a lot of our students leave the country right after graduating from university and many of them do not plan on returning in the near future. From the perspective of the professor teaching English to business undergraduates, this raises a few issues, from managing the students’ expectations and learning needs to adapting the course itself to a split reality. This paper discusses the findings of a small study conducted at the beginning of the 2022-2023 academic year among first- and second-year business students at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration in Iași, as it tries to find out what plans they have for studying and/or working abroad in relation to their expectations and learning needs regarding (business) English courses.","PeriodicalId":190185,"journal":{"name":"Virgil Madgearu Review of Economic Studies and Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131164587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether in relation to power and persuasion, to culture and non-verbal communication, falling into various categories, depending on their nature or purpose, negotiations will probably never cease to be a core topic in any Business Communication curriculum. Nonetheless, grammar focus has been rather overshadowed by LSP specialists’ growing interest in fluency, culture and emotional intelligence-related aspects. The aim of this paper is to mark a return to the importance of grammar in teaching negotiation skills by identifying some means to integrate it within the curriculum and to ensure its successful acquisition among business students.","PeriodicalId":190185,"journal":{"name":"Virgil Madgearu Review of Economic Studies and Research","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132556644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have resorted to an archival data analysis research strategy to analyse 228 job announcements for the recruitment of managers in Romania, regarding the topics mentioned above. We found that in almost 50% of announcements the manager concept was over-used by companies in our sample. In other words, the concept ‘manager’ was used in recruitment announcements in which there was not a management position. Likewise, we found that most companies required planning and organizing abilities, but they underappreciated the attention devoted to leadership and controlling/supervising abilities (in 57%, respectively 38% from cases). We also found that in 50% of announcements the human abilities were underappreciated by companies in our sample.","PeriodicalId":190185,"journal":{"name":"Virgil Madgearu Review of Economic Studies and Research","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133661082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
