HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY

The Department of Management Technology took off in October, 2000 with four (4) undergraduate programmes:

(i) B. Tech. Accountancy
(ii) B. Tech. Banking & Finance
(iii) B. Tech. Economics
(iv) B. Tech. Management

The admissions were restricted to 100 and 200 levels.

PHILOSOPHY

Management is the process of utilising the resources of an organisation to accomplish designated objectives. It is also the process of planning, organising staffing leading and controlling the work of organisation members. Thus, the role of management cannot be over emphasized in national development. Most often than not the main impediments to technological progress are organisational bottlenecks rather than technical difficulties. For instance, in Nigeria, the main obstacles to solution of national problems are not always material problems but institutional and management. This emphasises the distinctive contribution that effective management can make to any technical fix. In fact, we cannot talk of technological development in this country without adequate consideration for effective management of technological changes for production.

Thus, managerial and technological factors of production must be effectively combined together. The managerial function cannot be ignored if the technology is to achieve its full effect, since virtually all modern technologies are produced, distributed, maintained and even invented in organisations. Technology development and delivery are as much organisational achievement as they are technical ones.

Therefore, the Department of Management Technology offers four (4) programmes. (Accountancy, Banking and Finance, Economics and Management) which offer courses that are inter-disciplinary with emphasis on quantitative techniques to justify the award of B.Tech in the various programmes. The courses offered will assist the students to develop necessary analytical skills, competence and managerial expertise required to appreciate the value and creation of wealth in Nigeria.

The main objective is to train technocrat managers who can manage effectively technologically-oriented organisations in both public and private sectors of the economy with adequate competence in analytical techniques, accounting procedures, econometric models and management techniques.
