As one of 30 CIBERs located in universities throughout the U.S., the UConn CIBER is mandated to increase the competitiveness of U.S. businesses in the global marketplace. Given the number of high-technology firms in the New England region and the strong technology management programs already in existence at the University of Connecticut, its CIBER activities focus on Global Technology Management.

The UConn CIBER focuses its efforts in Global Technology Management in three main areas: Academic Programs, Business and Academic Outreach, and Research Programs. These areas filter down into six principal activities:

• Ph.D., MBA, and undergraduate course development and enhancement
• Programs for faculty and advanced degree students
• Curricular research and development
• Seminars and courses for international business executives
• Programs for faculty at other New England and U.S. educational institutions, and for leaders of professional associations
• Applied business research in Global Technology Management

These programs are designed and coordinated by faculty members of the UConn SBA, the Languages Department, and the School of Engineering, with the assistance of the CIBER Director and the Advisory Council.
