The technology-oriented companies are facing particular difficulties in the environment they operate in and this situation is well illustrated by the phrases such as “destructive technology” and “inconsistent technology changes.” As a result, Japanese companies have failed to profit from their technology development despite being called “miracles of the 20th century” and Japan as a country being named “technology-oriented nation.”

This course takes a holistic approach (entire process from value creation up until value capturing from the newly developed technology) aiming to teach students about the framework behind technology management and skills required for planning behind strategic technologies that are seen as a business core. The course has an emphasis on the understanding of technology management, which importance has become more recognized together with the widely spread MOT concept, rather than the understanding of specific technologies, in order to serve the needs of technology-company management.
