Technology Curriculum

Information technology is transforming our personal lives, as well as the way firms operate. Enterprise technologies are enabling new levels of efficiency, effectiveness and innovation in industries ranging from healthcare to automotive to retailing. Networking, digitization and mobility are making our lives more fulfilling and our work more productive. The Technology Industry Management (TIM) major equips students with the conceptual and analytical frameworks to manage technology businesses, as well as provides them with an in-depth understanding of the role that enterprise technologies play as enablers of improved business performance and competitive advantage.

"Horizontal" courses expose students to the fundamentals of enterprise technologies and management of technology projects and portfolios, while "vertical" courses focus on the managerial challenges in creating and marketing technology products and services. The major is useful for students who wish to work as product managers in technology companies, consultants in strategy consulting firms or as entrepreneurs. It is also useful for future general managers who will sponsor initiatives involving enterprise technology.
