Any one has any idea about the relationship between MBA and KM?

To me MBA teaches business functions separately such as marketing, finance, sales, and design, manufactoring etc. Major breakthroughs in time to market, investment, piece cost, and quality come horizontally across an organization, not vertically through individual, isolated functions. Processes across functions and interdependencies are crucial in today's environment. If some one say MBA also address cross business functions, they are not up to disciplinery. If MBA focus on vertical business funtions, then it seems to me that KM is about horizontal business processes. This certainly requires systems thinking and a whole set of disciplines required to address the interdepences between business elements.
