Research Centers

During the latter third of the 1990s Polytechnic Institute of NYU's Department of Technology Management expanded to Lower Manhattan, and this action resulted in significant growth and intellectual and programmatic development for the University and the Department.

The expansion to Lower Manhattan started in 1997 when the Department of Technology Management established its Institute for Technology and Enterprise [ITE] at 55 Broad Street, in the heart of high-tech New York City, known as "Silicon Alley." ITE was founded to function as the R&D engine for the Department, and aims at building managerial knowledge and developing advanced learning programs in the broadly defined technology management sphere.

Once at 55 Broad, ITE quickly attracted corporate sponsors. ITE now serves a unique and highly diverse community, composed of faculty, industry leaders, and other participating executives. At 55 Broad Street, ITE holds Round Tables and Workshops. ITE Round Tables have covered such subjects as Wireless Innovation, Media Management, e-Commerce and New Business Models, Managerial Challenges in the Biotechnology Industry in Israel, Innovation in Post-Dot-Bomb, Post-9/11 World, and New Dimensions in Global Innovation. ITE's research and curriculum development materials have dealt with such topics as on electronic commerce; the transformation of the print media industry; innovation in financial services; and the emerging homeland security sector's impact on US innovation.
