In this course you will learn the analytical structure and processes of organisations concerned with developing and/or utilising technology. You will develop skills to apply this knowledge to help decision making for shaping and accomplishing the strategic and operational objectives of the organisation. You will learn the process of planning and strategic technology management, and particularly the integration of technology strategy with business strategy in the context of engineering and technological organisations, the operational aspects of managing technology, including the relationship with production, marketing R&D, and human resources activities and a framework for understanding current technology management issues. You will explore, with an integrated view, the full impact of technology by effectively linking engineering, science, business and management disciplines. You will develop the view through case study analysis and selected readings, new insights leading to more effective decision-making in the practice of integrating technology strategy with business strategy in a technology-based organisation.
