Management of Technology

As a member of a select team, you'll choose an emerging technology and complete a full business plan that demonstrates the process of taking a technology-driven product or service to market. This comprehensive and integrative experience concludes with a MOT business plan competition.

During a two week international residency, you’ll examine the cultural, legal, and economic aspects of each location you visit, gaining deeper, firsthand knowledge of international business practices and cultures.
