This question's explanation and your answers so far.
解説
問 28
Incorrectア
M&A stands for “Mergers and Acquisitions,” a management approach that seeks to expand business scale or acquire new businesses by merging with or buying out other companies. It is a corporate-combination strategy, not the field responsible for formulating technology development strategy or plans.
Incorrectイ
MBA stands for “Master of Business Administration,” a degree or title earned by studying business management. It is not a management field itself, so it does not fit the question asking for the field that draws up technology development plans.
Incorrectウ
MBO is an abbreviation for either “Management Buyout” or “Management by Objectives.” The former is a method of corporate acquisition, and the latter is a method of personnel and organizational management through goal-setting; neither is the field responsible for formulating technology development strategy.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is “エ” MOT. MOT stands for “Management of Technology,” a management field that, aiming to create business value centered on technology, handles work such as formulating technology development strategy, drawing up technology development plans, and managing R&D investment. The “formulating technology development strategy” and “drawing up technology development plans” listed in the question are exactly the core activities MOT is responsible for, so エ is correct.
ここがポイント
- MOT (Management of Technology) is the management field that uses technology as a business resource and creates business value through formulating technology development strategy and drawing up technology development plans.
- Distinguish, by each term's definition, among the similar-looking business abbreviations M&A (mergers and acquisitions), MBA (Master of Business Administration degree), and MBO (management buyout / management by objectives) so as not to confuse them.
