Technology and Innovation Management
Creating new social and economic values based on
a deep understanding of science, technology and socioeconomic systems
Our goal is to foster business people who create groundbreaking knowledge in technology and business management, and strategically design, plan, and execute new businesses and projects, and cultivate innovators who work towards a prosperous society by fueling the creation of scientific and technological knowledge and incorporating this new knowledge into society and industry. Students learn methodologies for analysis and thinking, and acquire specialized knowledge of technology management, and advanced knowledge of cutting-edge technology and industry sectors. Their practical abilities to realize innovation are developed through practicums where students engage in discussions with business managers, policymakers, and experts at the forefront of business management, science, and technology, and propose projects and policies built on advanced technologies. In addition, through broad research activities where issues are deeply investigated and problems are solved, students form the ability to make decisions on their own using logic based on facts, and learn to take the lead to overcome difficulties and make breakthroughs.
