Abstract
As global businesses become more interdisciplinary in nature, colleges and schools of business appear to lag behind holding on to their functional orientation. The result may be having a dramatic negative effect on graduates. When three basic components of the operations management curriculum, are compared with a basic component of the marketing curriculum, conflicts emerge. The result of these conflicts may cause substantial damage to the global competitiveness of organizations. Students are frequently left on their own to uncover these conflicts and develop resolutions. A structural change may be required to bring business schools in line with business practices that will enhance students' understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of global business.By submitting a contribution to consideration of the Editorial Board of Fórum Empresarial, the authors attest that it is an original, unpublished work, which has not been nor will be simultaneously submitted to another journal for consideration and publication; that they are responsible for the work carried out and the content of the article; and they have the corresponding copyrights.
