• This study was designed to explore managerial skills required for managers working for the coroorations in Japan, China and Taiwan. For the purpose of comparing differences in the pattern of managerial skill practices, Chinese managers in state-owned (n = 276) and joint venture (n = 186) corporations, Japanese managers(n = 377) in Japanese corporations and Taiwanese managers (n = 139) in Taiwanese corporations were asked to respond the Managerial Skill Questionnaires (total N = 97). The MSQ using the 22 skill items asked managers to report how frequently they practice each skill based on a 5-point scale, and choose the five most important skills needed for them to improve their managerial job performance in their organizations. Results of the data analyses indicated that the four major skill factors, namely Organizational Development (OD), Organizational Goal Attainment (OGA), Proper use of Personnel(PUP)and Technical Skills (TS) are salient as common skill dimensions among sample managers. Particularly, both Chinese and Taiwanese managers were found practicing PUP and teamwork skills more frequently, while Japanese managers practicing OD skills relatively more than others. The analysis of critical skills for improving managerial performance indicated that Japanese managers identify strategic, problem identification and decision making skills to be most critical, while Chinese and Taiwanese managers do people-oriented and teamwork skills most critical for improving their job performance. But, Taiwanese were found different from Chinese managers in emphasizing the teamwork skill and technical expertise more than their Chinese colleagues who tend to choose fair treatment and quality control skills to be more critical. These findings were interpreted based on differences in culture and the nature of market pressures in which managers working in each country.
