Abstract

Despite the urgent need of collaboration crossing disciplines in higher education, many challenges still exist, hindering the multidisciplinary work from going efficiently in practice. This essay describes difficulties faced by faculty members in interdisciplinary organizations on teaching and research. It illustrates that the "transaction cost" like lacking support, hard to get promoted in profession etc. for interdisciplinary faculties will be compensated if they get trained, gain diversity recognition and follow the appropriate modes.
