The Institute for Technology and Enterprise in the Department of Management of Polytechnic University held a meeting today at 55 Broad Street of higher education leaders in the Management of Technology [MOT] field in the Northeast Region of the United States. At this meeting the first draft of the Directory of Management of Technology (MOT) Maine-Virginia was released. This Directory is being published by Kulper & Company, LLC.

Professor Mel Horwitch, Director of the Institute for Technology and Enterprise and former Chair, Management Department, Polytechnic University, commented:

"Polytechnic University has made a strategic commitment to MOT. We have a range of academic programs and research activities dealing with this arena. We believe it is crucial to promote a deeper understanding of what comprises a successful MOT program and this Directory will help enormously. We plan to take an active role in continuing to support the long-term development of the MOT Directory (ME-VA). We aim take a leadership role in exploring the on-going findings of the Directory with colleagues from Higher Education and Industry, as it is continually improved. We are also very pleased that Kulper & Company is supporting the development and growth of the MOT field."

Mr. Keith Kulper, President of Kulper & Company, commented:

"We have a commitment to serving the MOT field in Higher Education and industry. We funded the cost of creating the first Directory of MOT programs in the Northeast because we saw an opportunity to better serve our Higher Education and Industry constituencies. MOT is a fast growing and important segment of higher education that aims to train current and future managers/executives in better understanding the linkage of science and technology research and development with successful commercialization of new product solutions that will produce benefits for people all over the globe. Higher education institutions and industry are able to work increasingly more closely and productively as a result of this innovative and exciting educational initiative."
