 Transforming Business Education through Disciplinary Integration: The Case of Information SystemsHeikki Topi Chapter 8 in Shaping the Future of Business Education, 2013, pp 107-119 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract It is easy to see business education as a domain governed by traditional business disciplines, such as accounting, economics, finance, management, and marketing. To make things even simpler, it is tempting to separate these from other professional disciplines (such as engineering, medicine, and law) and a very broad set of arts and sciences (A&S) disciplines. Business fields do, of course, acknowledge that A&S disciplines provide foundational knowledge (for example, psychology, social psychology, and sociology for management; mathematics and economics for finance). Ultimately, however, the core business disciplines have separate identities as the guardians of state-of-the-art theoretical and practical knowledge in specific areas of business. Business education, and particularly the power to make decisions regarding what belongs to business education and what does not, is seen as the prerogative of these disciplines.
