Technology Management Education: Alternative Models

Abstract

This article examines alternative educational degree programs as models for developing managerial skills in technical professionals. There are inherent weaknesses in this regard in current Master of Business Administration and Master of Engineering Management degree programs. These weaknesses can largely be alleviated through the appropriate design and implementation of Management of Technology degree programs that are well-focused and targeted toward understanding the complex problems of managing technology and appreciating the uniqueness of the context of technology-based organizations.
