Course Overview
The course will assist you in developing a knowledge and understanding of the increasingly important area of technology management, building your management and leadership capabilities in this area, and enabling you to facilitate organisational change and sustainable improvements at the enterprise level through competitive work systems and effective knowledge management.

The course is delivered using a blended approach, that is, a combination of distance/online learning materials combined with face-to-face tutorials and seminars.
