“…Crittenden and Wilson (2006) reported on the use of cross-functional teaching in marketing departments at colleges and universities. Many researchers have reported the results of specific projects including teams that integrate traditional business functions, such as marketing and operations (Darian & Coopersmith, 2001;Kruck & Teer, 2009); teams that cross disciplines, such as engineering and business (Grinols, 2008); and teams that traverse international boundaries (Ross, Zufan, & Rosenbloom, 2008).…”

The authors report the results of a cross-class project involving sophomore-level students in an Operations Analysis (OA) class with junior-level students in an Operations Management (OM) class. The students formed virtual teams and developed a simulation model of a call center. The OM students provided the management expertise, while the OA students provided the technical background. Our objective was to reinforce concepts from both courses while providing an opportunity to work in virtual teams. Results suggest great dissatisfaction with virtual teams. Many communication and technology challenges need to be overcome to make this approach a practical one.

First, we began with a mutual understanding of the importance of oral, written, and strategic communication for our business students; second, we could integrate on a deeper level than the more macro collaboration across disciplines usually allows.…”
