Im wondering what the difference is between this new program and the Msc. Business Informatics programs already available (at least at European universities, Im getting mine at Utrecht University). From what Im reading they sound very similar, with the outlined key strengths in your post being virtually the same.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions here.

Looking over your program at Utrecht, it feels like the Business Informatics program is more geared towards general business processes with respect to technologies. The closest course at Utrecht to what we're envision with the Master's of Product Management is your Software Product Management elective.

It also seems like the expected roles for people coming out of your program would be general kinds of managers, consultants, or researchers.

There's also a certain underlying style and set of assumptions in the coursework in your program that, for lack of a better term, is European. Have you noticed that in the US that computer science theory usually means complexity theory, but in Europe, it often means automata theory? Sort of the same thing here. There's a strong emphasis in your program on knowledge networks, methods and processes, and so on. It's not that one is better than the other, it's just very different underlying assumptions and starting points for a curriculum.
