A Network Analysis of Management Discipline System

Abstract

Abstract:

After a hundred years of development, the discipline of business management has become mature, but the cross-disciplinary integration of knowledge is far from being achieved. Affected by the worldwide common curricula centering on functional divisions in business schools, students face a series of challenges to combine different fields or disciplines for constructing a systematic and active knowledge system. And the education quality would be uneven and unguaranteed when leaving students to integrate management knowledge across disciplines alone. By applying network analysis on the postgraduate curriculum of management discipline in a sampled Chinese business school and the counterparts in the foreign business schools, this paper reveals the connections, shortcuts, patterns and possible causes producing the different structures. The results show the divergence exists in core courses, connection mode and structures along their distinct evolving path. The analysis and comparison enlightens the curriculum optimization of business management education and provides guidance for improving the disciplinary development in China's business schools. It also enables students to build a holistic knowledge system, and through the needed interdisciplinary integration, improve the connection, migration and innovation of knowledge.

Key words: management discipline, curriculum system, network analysis, knowledge network
