Technology and World Change (TWC) is a core requirement for undergraduates at SMU.
 |
This course helps students understand how technological innovation comes about, and how socio-economic and environmental factors drive certain technologies to become world-changing ones. The interplay among technological change, individuals, institutions, and society at large is examined, with an added emphasis on the strategic management of technology from a corporation’s perspective. Specific examples may be drawn from the computer/telecommunications industry, the life sciences, energy and industrial production technologies, as well as other important or emerging industries. The course assessment will be based on participation and a combination of assignment(s), project(s) and examination.
Entries at this DUAL-sponsored competition are drawn from 10 TWC sections in Term 1 of 2005/2006. Different sections of the course take on different perspectives, and involve slightly different focus with regards to project requirements. The short-listed projects show-case some of the best class projects from a variety of technology perspectives: from case documentation and analysis to new product development.

Lee Kong Chian School of Business
Singapore Management University commenced its curricular instruction in 2000 with a single school - the School of Business. The School opened its doors to its pioneer batch of Bachelor of Business Management (BBM) students in August 2000. The School will move in 2005 when SMU relocates to the historic Bras Basah district in the heart of the city, a move which will bring vitality to an area that once housed several of Singapore's premier schools. From the School's perspective, what is even more important is the proximity to the business and financial center of Singapore.
