PART A- ASSESSMENT OF SKILLS
According to in-depth study of international business manager, it can be stated that
development of personal and professional skills is significant to consider. By having an
application of skills development program the individuals can have sustainable development.
There are two skills which are most essential to consider for continuous development (Friend and
Kohn, 2010). Management style and communication skills development is significant because it
assist in dealing with diverse aspects. By having an application of such measures the work
productivity can be advanced in desired manner.
Management Style
Manager establishes appropriate targets and yardsticks because it helps in sustainable
development of skills. Placement of decisions also need to be referred effectively as it improves
business development activities. The interpersonal skills help me in presenting various projects
and objectives. However, due to lack of confidence level I face issues in context to
communication skills (Klein, 2009). In addition to this, it can be stated by having an application
of diverse measures the issues can be overcome effectively. Along with this, my personal
experience also indicates that time management skills are well advanced. It offers can support to
management style application. With an assistance of such values the overall development might
be advanced in critical manner for sustainable development.
According to analysis of secondary sources, it can be stated that development of skills is
beneficial because it assist in meeting key goals and objectives. Managerial activities is

person can have effective development of self-reputation in the organisation. Moreover,
advancement in productivity of employees is necessary to consider because it assist in improving
work efficiency (McKenna, 2014). The advancement in knowledge provides better job
opportunities and influences the chances of growth in present business entity. It increases the
income of an individual because he is providing better results as compared to other employees.
Communication Skills
According to me, there are various activities which need to be referred effectively so that
development can be taken into account. In this respect, individual need to focus on needs
identification process. It means regular basis interaction with employees is significant so that
needs can be identified. With an assistance of this, effective measures can be employed for

continuous development. Along with this, setting out objectives for daily activities is also
beneficial because it assist in meeting key goals and objectives (Gallen and Buckle, 2011).
Proper classification of measures is also significant because it assist in meeting objectives. In my
view, for improvement in communication skills I can focus on daily reading activities. It will
improve my understanding about language which will assist in communication skills
development. By having an assistance of such values the business firm can have continuous
development (Hager and Holland, 2016). Moreover, application of measures like day to day
interaction with other members in team also helps in building confidence level. With an
improved level of confidence I can have sustainable development in communication skills.
As per my personal experience, I can say that development of skills is significant to
consider for every individual. I have good communication skills in both forms being written and
verbal. I can manage negotiation with clients of company. It reflects that communication skills
standards need to be advanced so that issues can be overcome in desired manner
In addition to this, it can be stated that by having an application of communication skills
the businesses can have effective sharing of information. It assist in development of measures
and lead business to impressive level of success. It helps in negotiation activities so that long
term sustainability can be advanced in critical manner. It indicates that development of
communication skills is significant because it assist in meeting objectives (Moon, 2006).
Swot Analysis
According to Swot analysis, it can be stated that analytical skills are well advanced which
assist in ensure that proper analysis of information is taken into account. Along with this,
planning of activities can be referred in order to meet key goals and objectives. Moreover,
leadership aspects are not appropriate which need to be advanced in order to ensure that issues
are being overcome. If such measures are not well maintained then it will impact the overall
outcome. I am regularly managing my activities within effective time framework. So it gives me
some spare time to complete other work. However, due to lack of communication skills the
issues are being faced by me which impact overall performance. By having an improved focus
on such skills I can easily improve sustainable values. I also face issues in context to learning
process due to lack of concentration and observation skills. It also need to be advanced by me so
that analysis of information and learning can be improved.
