March 28 - April 2, 1999, on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles.
> For more than 40 years, UCLA Extension's Technical Management
> Program (formerly the Engineering and Management Program) has
> provided "how to" answers to the challenges that technical managers
> face daily.
>
> The program is designed for experienced first-level technical
> supervisors,
> mid-level technical managers, technical professionals (engineers,
> scientists, and software professionals) with high advancement
> potential,
> and non-technical managers in technology-based organizations.
>
> A special benefit is the opportunity for participants to personalize
> their
> own curriculum by selecting four courses, each one meeting two hours
> per day. Participants may choose from 24 course offerings to address
> these and other important management questions:
>
> o How can I develop products and services that will have a market?
> o How can I use technology as one of the drivers of organizational
> change?
> o How can I influence persons who do not report directly to me or to
> my boss?
> o How can I create a culture that nourishes creativity, customer
> service,
> risk taking, and accountability?
> o How can I successfully communicate in-house with peers,
> subordinates, and superiors, and with global customers and suppliers?
> o How can I carry out my managerial role in the face of major change
> in the organization?
> o How can I prepare myself for emerging trends and an uncertain
> future?
> o How can I better use or change aspects of my style of leadership to
>
> get desired results?
> o How can I identify and eliminate costly, nonvalue-added activities?
>
> Instructors are drawn from the UCLA faculty, other universities, and
> the
> business community. All combine research and theory with practice
> and application.
