  • Case 1: Technologist – For engineers, research scientists and IT leaders who want to move into higher levels of management responsibility, EMTM offers the opportunity to build business and management expertise while staying current with emerging technologies in their own fields and in other technology areas.
  • Case 2: Executive – For managers and senior executives in organizations whose success depends on using science and technology effectively, EMTM provides a deeper understanding of key concepts and emerging technologies. They are able to communicate more effectively with their technology teams and suppliers, and leverage technology more strategically across the firm.
  • Case 3: Entrepreneur – For entrepreneurs (and intrapreneurs), EMTM helps build the management expertise needed to start and grow a firm or new corporate venture. Students also gain insights into emerging technologies across different fields that may have direct relevance to their own business or inspire new solutions.
