The Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) is a joint research and educational institute established by the Technical University Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU München). It was founded by Manfred Broy, Jörg Eberspächer, Arnold Picot and Andrew Kelly in 1998.[1] The main goal of the CDTM is to provide innovative entrepreneurial education to students and advance research in diverse fields.[2]

Education

As a member of the Elite Network Bavaria, the additional study programme "Technology Management" is located at the interface of digital technology, management and entrepreneurship.[3][4] Each semester, up to 25 highly qualified and ambitious students are recruited from a pool of more than 300 interdisciplinary applicants for this programme.[5] Most represented study fields are business administration, electrical engineering and computer science. Through close cooperation with various renowned industrial partners, the focus of the english programme is on providing practical experience for students.[6]

The aim of the Technology Management programme is to educate the innovators of tomorrow. During the course of the programme students develop the necessary professional and interpersonal skills to work together in interdisciplinary teams and to sustainably address the challenges of our society today beyond the topic of digital technologies. By the Elite Network Bavaria, the additional study programme is recognised as a four-semester elite study programme at Master's level where in sum 45 ECTS can be gathered. The programme is completed with an Honours Degree in Technology Management, which is jointly awarded by the sponsoring universities and confirmed with a certificate.[7]

The institute is situated at Marsstraße 20–22 in Munich.

Content and Procedure

The Technology Management programme extends over a period of one to two years, with one block seminar during the lecture-free period and two regular semesters. Technology Management is offered as a supplement to a regular Bachelor's or Master's degree and thus represents an additional qualification. The programme aims to complement university education with a special focus on practice. The attendance phases take place in Munich and primarily in the evening or on weekends to ensure compatibility with primary studies. The content focuses on trend research, product development, entrepreneurship and soft skills. Due to frequently changing elective courses, the core programme is always complemented by new electives, such as design thinking, hardware prototyping or social entrepreneurship. Mandatory is a stay abroad for a period of four months in the form of an internship with partner companies such as Infosys or a semester abroad. Thereby, renowned partner universities include UC Berkeley, Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich and HEC Montréal.[8]

Research

Excellent research at the interface of digital technologies and entrepreneurship is another task of the CDTM. The conducted research focusses on new technologies that will become relevant in a period of five to ten years. In detail, topics such as prototyping, business model innovation and technology transfer are addressed. A particularity at the CDTM is the strong link between research and teaching. An interdisciplinary structure enables the incorporation of expertise from students, doctoral students and professors. For instance, current topics are integrated into courses, and students are involved in research projects through seminars and theses. Publicly funded research projects of the European Union are, for example, innovative educational initiatives in the food industry or in the health sector. But also private research projects are carried out at the CDTM. In numerous projects, the CDTM cooperates with institutes such as the Karolinska Institute, the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) or educational institutions such as the IESE Business School, Imperial College London, Queen's University Belfast or the University of Cambridge.[26][27]

Each semester, the CDTM publishes a trend study about future scenarios and ideas for digital business models.[28] Previous topics were "Public admission in the digital era" in spring 2020 and "Parentech - the future of parenting" in autumn 2019.[29][30]

Organisation

The CDTM is mainly organized by the so-called Center Assistants of the management team. They develop and improve the additional study program besides fostering new research opportunities. In addition to the centre assistants, the students, also called Centerlings, are involved in shaping the CDTM. Important strategic and organisational decisions are made by a board of professors.[31]

This board is composed of the following professors (as of October 2021):[32]
