One of the complaints about the development of military doctrine over the past several decades is that "we are always preparing to fight the last war." One of the complaints that surfaced during a four year long study into the development of a common framework for supply chain management curriculum development was that the text books used in the curriculum development process were out of date. In other words, we are preparing students for the real world by teaching them about the historical business world and not the emerging business world. While this approach may work in the liberal arts such as history, it is in the words of Freire, doing a disservice to the students and not adequately preparing them for the real world. This study looks at a methodology for developing business school curriculums in particular. The study reviewed syllabi, job announcements, and textbooks for the top rated schools and for those not in the Top 25. The gap between what industry is asking for and what schools are teaching is much wider for the not-Top 25 schools than for the top ranked schools. © 2019 Journal of Curriculum and Teaching.
