TITLE AWARDED
Doctor in Technology and Innovation
PRESENTATION
The new realities associated with the transition to the third millennium in which the University linked to technology must perform, is characterized by processes of accelerated changes and uncertainty in all orders of human occurrence. At this stage of transition, the university must meet three fundamental challenges, namely: in the face of the global phenomenon of Technologization, before the preeminence of knowledge as a fundamental resource to boost development in the face of the constant revolution of information and communication technologies .
This transition has received the name of postmodernity (Lyotard, 1984), in terms of the evolution of world society and technological development, Toffler (1995) has called it the era of the Third Wave; while others have emphasized the productive aspect, as is the case of Drucker (1994), who has baptized this historical period of humanity as a post-capitalist society or knowledge society.
Hence, Moon International University offers a PhD in Technology and Innovation, creating in its students wealth or added values, which facilitate the attainment of an advantageous position in society.
