Interdisciplinary, Team-Taught, Undergraduate Business Courses: The Impact of Integration
Ducoffe, Sandra J. Smith; Tromley, Cheryl L.; Tucker, Michael
Journal of Management Education, v30 n2 p276-294 2006
Given the widespread use and success of cross-functional teams in industry and the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business's focus on the importance of interdisciplinary education, many business schools have incorporated interdisciplinary elements into their curricula. This study examined current student and alumni perceptions of the value of interdisciplinary, team-taught, undergraduate business courses. Of specific concern was the impact of perceived integration. Overall, the courses were perceived to have value. In addition, the more integrated the course, the more positively it was evaluated on every dimension. Practical and research implications are discussed. (Contains 6 tables and 3 notes.)
