Master in Technology and Innovation Management (MTIM)

PREAMBLE

Many of us invest in advanced education to improve our knowledge, wisdom, and in many ways, develop our character. We do this to prepare ourselves for future responsibilities and challenges. For many of us, these challenges often involve dealing with technology as a key issue. In addition to our long-term goals and career progression, employers expect us to be able to perform our work well and better. The MTIM program is developed to address these long-term and short-term needs. The curriculum for this program was designed with MJIIT’s Japanese counterpart. It emulates the Technology Management programs offered by Japanese universities. This makes the program unique in that it offers students with more than the typical material in textbooks that are mostly written from a Western perspective. By including Japanese management models and practices in the course, it offers students with a broader range of models and frameworks to use in making business decisions. The program will be taught by an international faculty that includes Japanese and Japanese educated faculty members.
