Synopsis

: Technology is becoming an increasingly important determinant of

success. While technology per se is important, it is necessary for
managers to be prepared to deal with challenges continuously
being faced by organizations in either developing, acquiring or
using newer technologies. This module provides the student with
an understanding of the depth and scope of managing technology
and concepts, as well as the challenges and tool to address them.
Amongst others, it deals with ethical issues in technology
management, new TM paradigms, technology life cycles,
technological innovation, linking business and technology
strategies, technology planning and implementation strategies,
acquisition and exploitation of technology, assessment and
justification for technology investments
