The Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing partnership between industry and academia. It provides an integrated curriculum in technology and business administration. High-tech companies face significant challenges as they try to maintain an advantage in a global economy that offers great business opportunities. Achieving and managing the continuous growth of their core technology competencies and product lines are among the challenges that these companies face. To meet these challenges, managers must possess two sets of competencies: technical knowledge and management skills.
The MSTM program can greatly help the engineers and scientists who are moving into management positions and recognize that advanced technical knowledge must be coupled with strong communication and administrative skills. It also provides useful tools for managers and business leaders who recognize that an understanding of issues in specific technology fields is critical in maintaining a competitive advantage in a global market. |
