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.
