Management education must ensure a balance between theory and practice, however, there are many disagreements about what is relevant and pertinent in education managers, with investigative perspectives competing between rigor and instrumental. Based on explanatory methodology, this article discusses how curriculum of Management programs in Bogota is structured, within the framework of institutional isomorphism. The results indicate that regulatory influences, corresponding to professional expectations, and the mimetic, referring to comparisons with other programs, explain the structure of the curriculum in Management education. The results also show that the curriculum of programs evaluated is not balanced in terms of the relative weights of subjects corresponding to theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and education in values.
