Problems and Needs of the UNP BSBA Management and BSBA Management Accounting Practicum Students, SY 1999-2000

Abstract

This study looked into the problems and needs of 49 BSBA Management and 49 BSBA Management Accounting practicum students of the UNP CBAA, Second Semester, SY 1999-2000 with the aim of gathering information, feedbacks, or suggestions for curricular enrichment/revision and to improve the marketability of Management and Management Accounting graduates. -Foremost among the problems of Management and Management Accounting
students was the trainee's difficulty in adjusting himself to the employees of the office he was assigned to and vice versa. The other problems common to both groups, are the following: poor mastery on computers; undesirable environment (hot, boring): no breaktime policy/rendering overtime work; and confusing tasks/insufficient orientation ofmanagement (workplace). Doing personal favors for employees was considered a problem by the
Management Accounting trainees but not by the management group.
