Why Technology Management?
Technology management is vitally important for both private and
public-sector organizations that must manage the fast pace of technological change. Today, all businesses
and public organizations are managed with and through technology. Understanding the technological
basis of management activities is essential for modern management. For example, information
technology is used in planning, operations, and marketing. Product and production
technologies are used in designing and producing products. Service technologies are used to deliver
consumer value. Emerging technologies impact the entire organizational structure and its operation.
The Master of Science in Technology Management develops leaders to support the needs of the modern world-wide industry. The curriculum enhances both career and personal objectives. Graduates of the program are equipped to manage organization resources, lead technological change, and strategically integrate higher- level knowledge within their companies.
The Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) provides a
broad-based core of management competency in the central business functions, along with a deep
understanding of the technologies that enable specific business capabilities. Courses develop
technical management competency while allowing the student to customize their depth of study in specific technologies that enhance
long-term professional career goals.
Why is this degree more beneficial than an MBA or Engineering MS Degree?
MBA programs traditionally emphasize management by the numbers, i.e., using financial measures to gage performance, marketing analysis to forecast profitability, etc., with some organizational behavior thrown in. The MSTM program, on the other hand, emphasizes both the technical and managerial aspects of leading in a technologically-rich environment. Our graduate students learn about economics and organizational behavior, but also learn about quality systems, legal and ethical issues, supply chains, automated data collection, and emerging technologies. If you plan to manage engineers or technical professionals, our program is one to choose. (For more on this question, see the FAQs.)
Our graduates generally pursue careers in four primary categories:
Managers
