The Alliance is inaugurating a Seminar Series in Technology Management, in collaboration with the Columbia University School of Engineering. The first Seminar will take place on Wednesday evening October 29th 2003 at Columbia, and will feature Dr. Boaz Ronen speaking on the use of technological value drivers to increase shareholder value.
Dr. Ronen, Professor of Technology Management and Information Systems at Tel Aviv University, is spending this semester as Visiting Professor at the Howe School of Technology Management at Stevens. Dr. Ronen gave an abbreviated version of this presentation at the November 2002 SATM Advisory Board Meeting and Roundtable. It received very high marks from the attendees, prompting us to invite Dr. Ronen to give an extended version to a wider audience.
The topic of increasing shareholder value is usually thought about in terms of financial drivers such as mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, etc. Dr. Ronen's unique methodology approaches the issue using the technological drivers that we focus on in the Alliance, such as new product introduction, time to market, more focused product/service mix, and the proper use of costing and pricing practices. Please contact Sharen Glennon (sglennon@stevens.edu or 201-216-5381) to let her know of your attendance or for more information.
