Centre for Technology Management

About the Centre

Technologies lie at the heart of any manufacturing company – whether used in making the products or forming an integral part of the products themselves.  Successfully assimilating existing technologies into the business and anticipating the impact of emerging new technologies are critically important tasks for companies under pressure to bring new products to market as quickly as possible.

The Centre for Technology Management (CTM) focuses on helping managers to make the most appropriate use of current and future technological resources.  It aims to provide comprehensive support to managers, based on an integrated understanding of science, engineering and business management.
