Technology Management is a multidisciplinary field of science that examines the opportunities and challenges of technological innovation, industry disruption, and organizational change, and the influence on business performance and competitive advantage. UC Santa Barbara Technology Management faculty investigate the dynamic interplay of technological, organizational, and human factors within and beyond the enterprise and their impact on the way businesses create and operate. UCSB Technology Management students explore the world of work through research-based, theoretical, and experiential learning and one or more academic pathways: Ph.D. in Technology Management, Master of Technology Management, and UC-recognized Undergraduate Certificate in Technology Management and Graduate Program in Management Practice (GPMP Certificate). In addition to receiving a unique business education, students can participate in co-curricular programs and activities in entrepreneurship that go beyond the classroom. Technology Management’s annual New Venture Program and Competition (NVC) teaches students about product ideation, team formation, business model development, market validation, and the art of presentation. The new Wilcox Venture Incubator allows students to develop new business ventures while working alongside mentors, IP and legal experts, and faculty -- preparing them for successful careers as business leaders and entrepreneurs.
