AB  - This study compares the required core graduate courses delivered by Brazilian 
  business schools with those delivered by US business schools. Researchers examine 
  courses announced on university sites in 3 academic periods by means of specific 
  methods for each investigation, aiming to obtain the best representativeness. 
  The quantitative analysis showed a statistically significant amount of similarities, 
  even in programs of dissimilar degrees. Therefore, researchers decided to examine 
  the values of Brazilians and US. The results show difference in values between 
  the 2 nations. Gathering the findings of all research and examining them through 
  the critical curriculum theory lens, researchers conclude that Brazilian business 
  schools tend to disregard the cultural context in which they operate. Based 
  on this study, researchers recommend applying the cosmopolitan perspective to 
  build and manage business curricula-keeping an eye on the influence of global 
  marketing and another on local (national) needs and values. In terms of limitation, 
  the contents announced on university sites may eventually be changed during 
  their delivery. Thus to complement this study, researchers recommend research 
  by academics of both nations aiming to verify the contents taught in classrooms 
  and compare them with those publicized on websites. This study is relevant to 
  academics and practitioners because it discusses a subject that affects them 
  daily.
