Managing engineering is more difficult, more demanding and more important than managing any other human activity in modern society. The author sets out to prove the truth of that statement and to show how today's engineering manager can exploit changing technologies, methods and markets. He offers fresh, often controversial, insights into a wide range of current engineering management issues-always maintaining the importance of people management-including the roles of education, training and research, the value of MBA training, the effectiveness of quality standards, the problems of diversification from military to commercial markets, and the roles of institutions, cultures and government in engineering.
