The mission of the Martin Tuchman School of Management (MTSM) is to educate and prepare our graduates for lifelong success as management professionals, corporate leaders and academic scholars in the dynamic, technology-driven world of global business. Embedded within New Jersey’s technological university, the Martin Tuchman School of Management integrates fundamental business principles with technical knowledge and critical-thinking skills and leverages strengths across the university from engineering and computing to architecture and social science. In this interdisciplinary business-technology environment, MTSM delivers high quality educational programs and experiential learning opportunities for our students, pursues scholarly academic research, and engages in innovation and entrepreneurship activities to serve the community and strengthen economic development.
Vision
Within a STEM-based academic environment, the Martin Tuchman School of Management educates a new generation of business professionals with strong technology and leadership skills and integrates business knowledge into the university’s science and technology programs.

The Martin Tuchman School of Management creates this competitive advantage by being an innovator and thought leader among technologically focused business schools: delivering forward looking academic programs, providing a technology-rich, student-centered environment to stimulate learning and foster a passion for success, and conducting research that integrates business and STEM knowledge to address critical global business challenges and achieve strategic priorities of the university.
Core Values
Respect
We maintain a stimulating environment in which to work, learn and excel professionally — a place that is collegial and supportive, embracing the diversity of our colleagues and valuing everyone’s contributions to the school and our programs.
Candor
It is important for ideas and opinions to be expressed freely. We realize that passionate people engage in heated debates but that discussions are always collegial and professionally respectful, as constructive discussion is healthy and valued.
Excellence
We strive for excellence with the understanding that it will not always be achieved. We know that excellence comes primarily from sustained collaboration and cooperation and not from the efforts of any one person. Our successes are collective and together we will be accountable to our students and the entire university community to help MTSM realize its full potential.
Integrity
Educators and researchers have a responsibility to understand and embrace professional and ethical standards and to meet them at all times. We realize that integrity comes into play when doing the right thing is neither expedient nor easy, and we are committed to acting ethically at all times. Further, we believe that fairness lies at the heart of integrity, and we apply standards uniformly to our students and our colleagues.
Innovation
We do new and interesting things in new and interesting ways whenever we can. We also help others to do so. While we find new ways to teach, to learn and to discover new knowledge, we are aware that innovations often fail. We celebrate the process of discovery and must critically evaluate our efforts to make sure they can withstand the scrutiny that distinguishes valuable innovation from fads, superficial thinking and hyperbole.
Diversity
We are extremely proud of the rich diversity of our faculty, staff and students and committed to the principle of inclusive excellence where strength comes from synergy and value is created from the diversity of our colleagues and students.
