Graduate Certificate Program Strategic Management of Technology
Strategic Management of Technology Graduate Certificate Overview
PSU Fariborz Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science
Innovation and commercialization are major drivers of technology-related businesses and the economy. Efficiency and effectiveness in terms of the development and commercialization of new products and services are in turn driven by the construction and implementation of a strategic plan. Today's fast-changing "hypervelocity" technologies and markets pose a particular challenge. Industry boundaries become blurred, technologies evolve, undergo fusion, and markets change in often chaotic fashions so that prediction of the future in order to plan becomes problematic. This program is designed to address the issues of strategic planning and implementation, and dealing with high levels of uncertainty in a global technology business setting.
