International MBA in Technology Management
I. Introduction of Program
Program Overview
Taiwan has made remarkable progress in the development of technology which in turn
spurs economic growth. In todays global economic value chain and supply chain,
Taiwans position has become indispensable to the world. The semiconductor technology
in Taiwan has also reached a requisite level within the global economic value chain. With
experiences from the industry, entrepreneurship, global strategy and venture capitalism,
both medium and small enterprises are transforming to become part of Taiwans
technology industry base. Taiwans unique experience can be used as a reference and
study model for countries worldwide. This is the focus area for the International MBA
(IMBA) program in Technology Management, and thus an operating method of
globalization for the College of Technology Management in National Tsing Hua
University.
The goals of the IMBA program are as follows:
1. Train future technology industry management personnel.
2. Encourage foreign students to diversified knowledge by choosing relevant culture
courses among elective ones, thus enabling them to learn within a multi-cultural
environment.
3. Make arrangements for students to have opportunities as interns, by visiting and
interviewing Taiwan technology industry players in order to understand Taiwanese
technology industrial models. We hope to broaden studentsview and obtain practical
knowledge from those high-tech companies.
4. Cooperate with famous universities and consequently appreciate their programs and
thus promote dual academic degrees collectively. This would create opportunities to
students for placements as interns.
5. Promote academic knowledge sharing by inviting visiting professors to give related
lectures in the program. This would create and increase interactions among students
and the visiting professors.
Program Objectives
National Tsing Hua University is located next to the Industry Technology Research
Institute (ITRI) and Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park. The following key technology
places can be reached in an hours drive: Hsinchu Industrial District, Chu Nan Industrial
