Incoming first year MBA students are selected for the TI:GER^® program based on academic excellence, entrepreneurial or innovation-related work experience, and likely interest in technology commercialization as a career alternative. In TI:GER we examine the technology commercialization from each of three different perspectives – University Technology Transfer, Corporate Innovation and Intrapreneurship, and Venture Creation and Entrepreneurship. For MBAs this program is designed to build market-ready skills in high-tech product conceptualization, development, and launch; and specifically the ability to work effectively in multi-disciplinary innovation teams regardless of the business setting.
