About the Department

ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΟ ΚΤΙΡΙΟ ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ ΠΕΙΡΑΙΩΣ

The DIMT is a dynamic, evolving cell of the University of Piraeus, with goals, vision and a promising future. Its distinctive advantage – and at the same time its added value – is that it combines management science with the technological component in the field of industrial enterprise, thus differentiating it from general business administration studies. 

The aim of the Department, with its modern curriculum, is to provide students with the knowledge of the scientific methodology required for the analysis, design, implementation and organization of appropriate systems, in order to effectively address the complex problems that arise in the production process from the interdependence of human factor, raw materials, means of production and modern technology.

The introduction of new technologies (automated production and distribution equipment, information networks, new materials and processes, support / decision making systems, etc.) as well as ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the business in today’s complex economic and technological environment, require firm foundations and knowledge in the management of industrial enterprises.
