IAMOT ENDORSEMENT FOR YOUR MOT PROGRAM
Over the past years, IAMOT conducted extensive studies on the trends of MOT programs and curricula designs; see, for example, the publication by Yanez, Khalil, and Walsh. Global changes, such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and a new world after Covid-19, bring about a continuous stream of technological changes that forces MOT program directors to rethink their program designs. IAMOT is in the process of upgrading its guidelines for MOT programs in order to assist program directors with the evaluation of their programs against global standards to ready themselves for the new world of technology and innovation management. If you are interested in a future endorsement of your program design and its offering, IAMOT invites you to complete the following information:
