Dear Dr. M. Atilla Oner:
The topics you are asking about are gaining increasing importance in
the US educational system. Some of the MBA programs are including
those courses in their curricula but mostly they are offered in
"Engineering Management", "Technology Management", or "Management of
Technology" Programs. There were 20-30 degree granting programs under
these titles in mid 1970s. Internationally, the number has grown to
roughly 200 now. About 60% are in the United States. Most of them
are in Schools of Engineering but those in the Business Schools are
rapidly growing. Organizationally, some are departments (Univ. of
Missouri-Rolla, ODU, George Washington Univ., etc.), some are
programs (M.I.T's joint program in MOT between School of Eng'g. and
Sloan School, Portland State University's EM program,
University of Miami's MOT program, etc.), some are options in other
departments (Stanford's IE/EM department, Northwestern Univ. IE
department, and several MBAs with Technology Management
concentration). A large number of titles is used in these programs
but they all have a common core including courses on technology
management, R&D management, project management, manufacturing
management, innovative organizations, teambuilding, technology
planning,etc. Most of them offer Masters degree, some offer Ph.D., a
relatively small number offer Bachelors degree. The multiplicity of
the titles has led to the dilution of the field's identity but it has
been developing strongly especially in the last two decades. There
are many international conferences on technology management
throughout the world; several research journals are published now. A
significant number of textbooks and book series have been developed,
and professional organizations have been formed since mid-70s. NSF
just announced the new research program on "Innovation and
Organizational Change" which is addressing the research issues in
technology management.
Many of these topics are discussed at the biennial PICMET (Portland
International Conference on Management of Engineering and
Technology). The next one will be held on July 25-29, 1999.

Dear List-members,
I guess I am one of the 300...
Do the MBA programmes in US (or in EU) offer courses on "technology
management", "R&D management", and "project management", and if yes, in
what order?
Best regards,
Dr. M. Atilla Oner
