Message First and most important thing is that the graduate students of science and technology should have their own high professional skills and technologies. This course provides all students a new perspective of technology transfer based upon MOT and Venture Business. In this course, you will learn many successful stories, marketing science and customer service related with R&D and technology strategy. I will strongly recommend you because this is one of the useful courses for all graduate students.
