Mile Katic

Mile Katic is a multi-disciplinary management scholar with expertise that spans the likes of technology and innovation management, operations management as well as strategic management. Currently, he is the Subject Coordinator for Judgment and Decision Making, a subject in the Masters of Engineering Management program at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and has been involved in facilitating teaching and learning in 15 different subjects across multiple faculties and education levels at both UTS and other institutions abroad.

With professional experience in the Australian manufacturing industry, Mile is particularly interested in boundary-spanning research that helps transfer leading edge management theory into practical know-how. To this end, he has collaborated with various government agencies (including DIIS, DIN and other CRCs) as well as other universities (including the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Bonn) to deliver practice-centered research concerning Australian management capabilities, the nexus between strategic management and technology convergence and, more recently, the managerial implications of industrial energy efficiency and strategic decision making under uncertainty.

Mile holds a PhD in innovation management and a Masters degree in engineering management from the University of Technology Sydney as well as a Bachelor degree in engineering from the University of Western Sydney.
