The objective of the Turkish Thesis-Based Master’s Program in Business Administration is to equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the fundamental disciplines of business administration and to enable specialization in certain areas. Thus, it aims to provide students who have completed undergraduate education in various academic fields (Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, etc.) with the qualifications necessary to assume managerial roles and responsibilities in the business world during stages such as management and leadership, planning, organization, execution, and control.
Our program is designed to enable managers and managerial candidates to understand the increasingly volatile economic, political, and environmental parameters of international markets through real-life examples and interdisciplinary modern approaches. In this context, our program offers a case-based education and training process that allows managers and managerial candidates from the private sector, public sector, or non-profit organizations to comprehend the increasingly complex international economic opportunities and risks, grasp national and international challenges from all dimensions, and view decision-making processes from an international, analytical, and strategic perspective. The curriculum of our program not only focuses on business/corporate decision-making processes from a micro perspective but also integrates international public policies and strategic variables with strategic management from a macro perspective in an analytical and effective manner. To deepen corporate management skills, it blends quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical analysis methods in the most appropriate balance.The main objectives of our program are as follows:
- To present an interdisciplinary approach to international business management education with high-quality courses that include economics, international economic organizations, international trade law, international negotiation and business culture, multinational financial management, research methods, technology, data-driven approaches, and applications,
- To provide our students with opportunities to enhance their decision-making skills, specialize, and expand their professional network by recognizing successful examples in functional, sectoral, or regional fields where they may need expertise,
- To support our manager and managerial candidate students in clarifying their career options, deepening their awareness of their resources and abilities, removing obstacles to their goals, developing a strong managerial/leadership perspective, identifying problems correctly within the framework of systems thinking, and producing widely accepted sustainable solutions,
- To cultivate the future international leaders with high competitive power by combining managerial skills required by current technological advancements with innovative, analytical, and intellectual knowledge and competencies.
Societies that started economically as hunter-gatherers, later developed the service sector following agriculture and industry, and subsequently the development of the information society, have brought about significant transformations for humanity in the 21st century. In the information society, the most important factor for survival is directly dependent on fulfilling the requirements of previous communities, especially the industrial society. Otherwise, societies that are backward in industry cannot escape being large consumers in the information society rather than producers. Today, with the phenomenon of globalization, the rapid changes in technology and employment sectors have created a need for the diversification of educational activities and effective addressing of emerging new demands. Classical educational practices have started to be blended with distance education, and in addition, new interdisciplinary approaches have begun to emerge. In this context, industrial policies and technology management have emerged as some of these new interdisciplinary fields. At the country level, industrial policies and design, and at the firm level, technology management disciplines accelerate the industrialization process of countries and increase the country's productivity, leading to the development of their standard of living.
Industrial Policies are of great importance in the industrialization process of countries. The development of industries in countries, the increase in their competitiveness, and the rise in their export capacities by producing technology-based and high value-added products require the scientific design and implementation of industrial policies. Technology management, a subfield of industrial policy, is a scientific discipline that deals with the effective management of technological competencies, equipment (tools), and human resources at the levels of government institutions, technology ecosystem stakeholders, and firms. In order to accelerate the industrial and technological development of our country, there is a need for qualified personnel specialized in industrial policies and technology management both in government institutions and private sector stakeholders. The aim of establishing the Industrial Policies and Technology Management (IPTM) Master's Program at OSTİM Technical University is to meet the need for such qualified individuals, to train academicians in these fields, and to contribute to accelerating our country's technology-based industrial development.
Our university, established as an "industrial university" and located in one of our country's leading industrial areas like OSTİM, considers the production of knowledge not only in technical fields but also in areas such as economics and business, and contributing to the development of human resources, to be of great importance for a "more efficient and competitive" industry. Through the IPTM Master's Program, it is planned to increase both the quantity and quality of researchers, academicians, and professionals working in the fields of industrial policies and technology management at our university. This will contribute to making experts working in public institutions, academia, and the private sector more equipped in the design and implementation of industrial policies and technology management. As a result, more effective industrial policies and technology management will enhance our country's competitiveness, export capacity, and level of development.
