M.S. in MIT
The M.S. in the Management of IT is a one-year program that looks at business through a technology lens, and technology through a business lens.
Each module examines one aspect of how information technology produces business value. Within each module, you will apply what you learn through in-class discussions, individual assignments, team projects involving real organizations, and a final presentation.
An immersive kickoff experience puts you in a team charged with designing a digital innovation for a real-world company. You will learn to design effective IT systems that meet the needs of clients and customers and create business value.
This is a hard-hitting degree with the right balance of IT and business knowledge to accelerate your career toward technology leadership. The faculty continually reviews and refines the curriculum, based on feedback from IT and business professionals currently engaged in the class, as well as their own research, to ensure that the program is current and relevant. One thing we know for sure: the skills and strategies you learn in the classroom immediately translate to the workplace.
We’ve developed a curriculum that addresses the needs of business and technical professionals who have IT management, budgetary, or decision-making responsibilities.
Our graduates gain the knowledge-based confidence necessary to manage technology in business settings. You'll learn how to translate between technology and business.
You'll learn how firms can utilize information technology to grow faster than competitors and achieve above-average financial returns.
The Internet of Things refers to smart, connected products—smart, because they incorporate digital capabilities (sensors and actuators), and connected, because they can communicate with each other and the rest of the world.
AI has a deep transformational impact on business because it enhances product performance, optimizes business processes, automates tasks, transforms business models, and creates new products and markets.
Digital transformation, the fundamental organizational change shaped by datafication, customerization, platformization, and democratization, can help organizations streamline processes, reinvent customer experiences, and create growth through new business models.
Management’s decision whether to invest in a digital innovation project is based in large part on evaluating the project from a financial perspective. Management must forecast the profitability of these projects to allocate a firm’s scarce resources to those projects that will maximize firm value.
IT strategy, which lays out how a firm can generate a competitive advantage using IT, is a blueprint built off a firm’s unique differentiating capabilities. It describes how the firm can grow faster than competitors and achieve above-average financial returns by creating superior value for customers.
Digital platforms such as eBay (buyer and sellers) and Uber (drivers and raiders) connect participants and enable interactions.
