These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Transportation Management majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Management of Financial Resources is very distinctive for majors, but the Monitoring, Critical Thinking, Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Coordination, Active Listening, Time Management, Management of Personnel Resources, Writing, Complex Problem Solving, Judgment and Decision Making, Negotiation, Persuasion, Social Perceptiveness, Systems Evaluation, Active Learning, Systems Analysis, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Management of Financial Resources, Mathematics, Service Orientation, Management of Material Resources, Operations Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Quality Control Analysis, Operation and Control, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Programming, Science, Equipment Selection, Repairing, Installation, and Equipment Maintenance are the three most important skills for people in the field.
