The Institute for Technology and Enterprise is New York City's premier research and education hub for bridging management and innovation. It nurtures and builds managerial knowledge based on the lessons of high-quality scholarship and pacesetting business practices. Thus, the Institute is a unique starting point for firms embarking on major managerial changes or transformation required in the increasingly competitive space defined by modern, especially digital-based, innovation.

The Institute fulfills its promise by adhering to certain guiding principles:

• All Institute endeavors--research, original learning-material development, Round Tables, Workshops and other events--reflect a managerial concern emphasizing the realms of markets, organizations and people, not technology per se.
  
  
• Leveraging its "learning by doing" philosophy and its diverse heritage which is rooted in scholarly work and industry practice, the Institute's perspective is robust, uncovering the best of fundamental, evolving and new managerial imperatives.
  
  
• Believing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the Institute is integrative, cross-industry and multidisciplinary; it seeks to go beyond narrow specialization, to span and inform multiple industries, and to "connect the dots" that comprise complex, innovation decision making today.
  
  
• The Institute aims to ask important questions in order to have a major influence--not simply an incremental one--in moving firms and entire fields forward.
  
  
• All intellectual capital and all content generated by the Institute ultimately reside in the public domain for the benefit of all relevant constituencies.
  
  
• The Institute places a high value on mutually committed partnerships, collaborating worldwide with like-minded, dedicated executives, firms and scholarly colleagues.
  
  

Utilized fully, the Institute is an on-going learning network with a diverse range of managers, firms and scholars. This unique knowledge base and active dialogue enable all Institute partners to operate more effectively in the modern, increasingly digital-based, business arena.
