Integration of the Core Business Curriculum: Levels of Involvement and Support Provided

AbstractIntegration of the business core curriculum has become a mandate of both the business community and AACSB. Many U.S. business schools are developing integrated course offerings of various forms. Although much attention has been devoted to course content, design and delivery issues, little has been directed at the support provided for these integration efforts. This study investigates the attitudinal, infrastructure, and resource support provided for these efforts and business school administrator perceptions of adequacy. Results indicate significant differences between schools regarding the level of support provided for these integration efforts based on perceived levels of program effectiveness.
