Business Technology Management

Business Technology Management (BTM) is an emerging trans-disciplinary research area and professional discipline in Business Administration.

Potentially building upon other business disciplines, such as: Product Management, Project Management, Data Science, Management Information Systems (MIS) and/or Technology and Innovation Management (TIM), it seeks to provide an integrated framework for the strategic use of data and technology and the digital transformation of organizations.

BTM is evolving similarly to other research areas in business, e.g., professional disciplines of Change Management (CM), leadership, and Management Consulting, developed from foundations in Organizational Behavior (OB), Strategic Management (SM), Operations Management (OM), and Project Management (PM).

A new BTM program accreditation standard has been developed by ITAC Talent, a division of the IT Association of Canada.[1] It was mandated by the Government of Canada to develop and update the educational standards of BTM programs in the country.

BTM is offered as a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science by Neumont College of Computer Science[2] and heavily focuses on components of Leadership, Project Management, Product Management, Quality Assurance, and Data Science.[3]
