The data obtained fromthe interviews were subjected to content analysis andfindings were obtained on the areas of quality andskill mismatch between supply and demand throughcoding and identification of themes.Findings: The findings showed that employers have expectations in the field of supply chainknowledge Excel knowledge mastery of management information systems ERP knowledge warehouse management port operations logistics knowledge and basic export operations.However employers stated that these qualifications were insufficient in graduates and manyhad to be taught by them on the job. Graduates on the other hand have stated that when theythink about the difficulties they have experienced in the business world they realize theirshortcomings only when they start working.Implications for Research and Practice: According to the findings it is consideredappropriate to carry out such research with a participant profile in other fields of highereducation including representatives of the relevant business world academic representativesand representatives of the central authority.
