The ability to integrate new ideas with the existing processes and to innovate on the job is a crucial __________ for today’s managers.

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 2 Management Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Conceptual skill

Katz classified managerial skills into technical, human and conceptual, and the description here points to seeing the whole picture and creating new combinations.

Conceptual skill is the mental ability to see the organisation as a whole, to understand how its parts fit together, and to integrate new ideas with existing processes and innovate. That is exactly what the question describes.

Human skill is the ability to work well with people; technical skill is proficiency in a specific activity or method; and 'soft skill' is a broad term for interpersonal abilities, not this integrative, big-picture capability.

Hence the ability described is a conceptual skill.
