Management of Technology Laboratory (MoT Lab) SBM ITB is an international joint laboratory built in collaboration with Yamaguchi University, Japan. We are focusing on the value added and sustained growths of businesses that generate by the advancement of technology, especially in emerging countries. Through this laboratory, we support teaching and learning activity, research, training, and consultation to prepare future business leaders and policymakers with the capability to identify the potential of disruptive technologies. We also develop and conduct course sharing with distinguished universities, including Yamaguchi University, MJIIT Malaysia, and HCM IU Vietnam. 

MoT Lab’s research agenda is concerned about finding how technology could create additional values for a company’s business. Be it through procurement, new product development, production, marketing, to post-sales and customer relations. MoT Lab is made possible through the collaboration between lecturers and researchers in YUMoT and SBM ITB in topics relating to technology management. The research conducted by MoT Lab is geared towards providing support to educational activity relating to technology management and tech-based entrepreneurship.

To support the research and educational activities conducted by MoT, the lab is equipped with sufficient hardware and software. High-end computers with top specifications to accommodate software processing big data relating to patent database and data analytics are provided. There’s an HD video conference system for long distance real-time conferences. Softwares for data analytics and Stata statistics for empirical research are also available in the computers.

MoT Lab is currently establishing partnerships with active industry players. One of the examples of these partnerships is a collaboration with Tibco, an American information technology company, in providing software for students’ learning activities. Tibco provides software utilizing big data and internet of things for decision making and business prediction, which can give a leading edge to companies. Partnerships with companies could also be initiated by providing training and workshops relating to technology management and innovation.
