Message The 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 with a new perspective on technology development based upon corporate management. In this course, you will learn many successful stories, marketing science and customer service related with technology management. I strongly recommend it to you because this is one of the useful courses for all graduate students. In addition, etiquette for lecturers, particularly the part-time lecturers, is required.
