Management of Technology Specialization

Technology affects every aspect of business. To stay ahead of the curve — and the competition — you need an advantage.

That’s exactly what the Management of Technology (MoT) specialization of Georgia Tech Scheller’s Executive MBA program provides. Learn how to forecast trends, embrace emerging technologies, and manage innovation and organizational change.

The program starts with EMBA core coursework, then transitions to a specialized curriculum focusing on emerging technologies, change management, technology forecasting, and analysis of global environments.

“As a data-driven technology marketer, it was very natural for me to pick the Management of Technology track. I did talk with previous Executive MBA students who went through this track and they spoke very highly about the skills they gained and how it translated into their current careers. I was also very inspired by the possibility of potentially creating a tech enabled start-up, which became a catalyst to my decision. Going through the program, I feel validated that I made the right choice. It has given me so much confidence in my ability to take something from ideation to execution.”

“What stands out to me about the Management of Technology program is how the capstone project consists of creating a business from the ground up and defending it in front of a group of investors. It’s not just about playing start-up founder—there’s a real emphasis on knowing and understanding your customer, not just making a business plan on paper.”
