Technological advance has been responsible for creating half of the long term economic growth and 80% of productivity improvement in the U.S. over the last fifty years, and is forecast to be the single most important factor in creating business opportunity worldwide in the coming decades. Technological Innovation routinely creates new markets and investment opportunities while at the same time rendering others obsolete. It also transforms our ways of running operations and organizing business so that, the ability to understand and manage the process and its impact has become an essential requirement for business managers regardless of functional specialty. Powerful innovations in, for example, information technology, biotechnology, and advanced materials, have irreversibly changed much of the service and manufacturing sectors and forced aspiring business leaders to develop new skills and an understanding of technological innovation and its impact.
The major, Technological Innovation, is designed to educate leaders for the business environment of the 21st century in which new and emerging technologies will increasingly drive the creation of new businesses and industries. It is targeted to corporate managers, entrepreneurs, consultants and analysts who wish to stay ahead of the curve by profiting from technological innovation by managing its impact. In addition the Technological Innovation program is designed to facilitate participation in the dual-degree program with the School of Engineering and Applied Science. (MBA/MSE) students interested in the graduate program in Management and Technology are accepted and enrolled in two degree programs simultaneously: a 10-course unit MSE program in the school of Engineering and Applied Science .
