IIME 405: Project Management (100/3018)
M 05:00-08:00 PM Jun 18-Aug 08
Kapadia, F
Project Management is concerned with the management and control of a group of interrelated tasks required to be completed in an efficient and timely manner for the successful accomplishment of the objectives of the project. Since each project is usually unique in terms of task structure, risk characteristics and objectives, the management of projects is significantly different from the management of repetitive processes designed to produce a series of similar products or outputs. Large-scale projects are characterized by a significant commitment of organizational and economic resources coupled with a high degree of uncertainty. Thus, the objective of the course is to understand what are the main issues and problems in the management of projects and to have a thorough knowledge of the conceptual models and techniques available to deal with them. Recommended preparation: Senior status in engineering.

High technology products and services are unique in the levels of ambiguity and risk that challenge a manager's ability to craft a marketing strategy. Understanding the customer, reading market trends, creating a compelling vision of value, and launching marketing programs (already foreboding tasks in traditional marketing situations) have a heightened sense of uncertainty in the context of high technology platforms such as nanotechnology and regulated medical devices. This course draws on contemporary ideas in literature by thought leaders in technology marketing. We work though several marketing models and methods in practice today to assist students synthesize and build appropriate conceptual and managerial frameworks for technology marketing practice.
