Abstract: Abstract Management of Technology (MOT) programs present unique problems of staffing, marketing, curriculum development and delivery, and fundraising. The IC2 Institute, Oregon Graduate Institute, Portland State University, and Maastricht School of Management have faced most or all of these problems, and overcome them with a combination of innovative business models, industry outreach, and quality improvements. This chapter lists the problems these schools have faced in building MOT and allied programs, and how they dealt with them. It also addresses the important question of why, despite the obstacles, it is worthwhile to build and expand MOT offerings. While centered primarily on American experiences, I believe most of the discussion is globally applicable, and ask readers to excuse any parochialisms.
