Learn Tech Management In 45 Minutes
*Excerpt
It took me two years to get a master's in tech management. I save you $40K and give you the short version.
Description
Managing innovation, intellectual property and employment law, corporate finance, building a business plan — my master’s degree in technology management gave me some grounding in a bunch of suit stuff. I’ll teach you a little of each of these, plus insights from my management experience and fish-out-of-water anecdotes. Aspiring executives welcome; ties optional.
