Market Outlook
Management of Technology in the AI Era
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations make decisions, develop products and services, manage operations, engage customers, organize work, and compete. In the Management of Technology (MOT) curriculum, the goal is not simply to master today's AI tools, but to develop the judgment to evaluate emerging technologies, identify opportunities for innovation, redesign work and organizations around new capabilities, manage risks, and lead responsible technology adoption, even as the technologies themselves continue to advance.
AI is therefore not treated as a separate topic; it is integrated throughout the program as a powerful and evolving technology. Students examine AI from multiple perspectives: strategy and competitive advantage, organizational adoption and transformation, analytics and decision-making, product and service innovation, operations, marketing, governance, and responsible technology management.
A Curriculum that Bridges the Business and Tech Worlds
The Master's in MOT coursework blends subjects from MBA programs and technology-focused degrees:
- Business Topics: Strategic Management, Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Organizational Leadership, Project Management, and Economics.
- Technology Topics: IT Governance, Data Analytics, Emerging Technologies, Product Development, and Design Thinking.
