AMBA book club: High-tech CEO

The High-Tech CEO

Jan Rosier

Routledge

Is it possible to lead highly complex R&D projects and innovation that you do not understand? The High-Tech CEO examines the impact of CEOs on firm performance and focuses on their role in science-based innovation.

Today’s business leaders may be required to lead organisations with technical knowledge beyond their own expertise. This book aims to unlock the skills required to balance the leadership and managerial needs of an organisation, motivate its technical teams, and drive successful innovation in new product development environments. It also describes what technical and scientific specialists need and expect from their leaders.

Aimed primarily at managers in high-tech and scientific environments, The High-Tech CEO also provides a guide for anyone interested in understanding the management skills required for leading high-tech projects.

Jan Rosier is Professor of the Business of Biotechnology at University College Dublin. He holds a doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences from Ghent University and a doctorate in management from Cranfield School of Management.
