Many potential participants wonder if this is the right program for them.  They may ask if a business program perhaps would not be a more appropriate education option.  These are fair questions and we hope to address them for you.

In many ways, the generic business programs of typical business schools have become outmoded. In today's complex business environment, it is imperative that managers understand not only the elements of traditional managerial domains such as economics and finance but that they also have deep knowledge of the innovative process. Modern innovation is more than just about technology. It entails understanding various factors both within the corporation and in the larger business context including:

• Organizational structures which are seamless 24/7 global entities
• Knowledgeable customers who are important sources of innovation
• New business models based on technology-enabled innovations are emerging
• The rise of new competitors
• Different skill sets and talent needed for developing hybrid physical/digital/wireless products and services
• Venture capital and venture creation
• Revitalized R&D
• The impact of technology throughout the enterprise
• Knowledge Management
• A business environment that is increasingly made up of networks of customers, suppliers, outside experts and universities
• The move toward globalization of markets

Instead, they are a state-of-the-art education which provide participants with frameworks for thinking and learning about the challenges and issues confronting managers in a continually evolving business landscape. It is this emphasis on learning which is the cornerstone of the MOT and IM programs.
