The Technical University of Denmark has an overall mission of developing and creating value using the natural sciences and the technical sciences to benefit society. In order to benefit society, it is not enough to create new technology. The technology must also be implemented in new products and processes. This requires an understanding of relevant frameworks at the individual, organisational and broader systems level.
DTU Management Engineering is based on this underlying construct and the Department aims to develop and utilise new knowledge about Systems Analysis, Production and Service Management, Management Science, and Technology and Innovation Management to benefit society. In that way the Department contributes to knowledge based growth and welfare with focus on competitiveness, productivity, sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Research and education at DTU Management Engineering is carried out in close cooperation with international research environments and industrial and public partners.
The Department’s research is divided in five divisions and one centre with different disciplinary perspectives:
-
System Analysis

Production and Service Management
-
