Handbook of Engineering Management

“New ‘Business Management’ books appear with monotonous regularity and are all too often a ‘dime a dozen’. More importantly, they mostly fail to address many of the issues that frequently impact engineering-based projects and technology-based enterprises. In this text, Lucy Lunevich has brought together insightful discussion and analysis by a team of experienced academics and industry analysts and leaders, to help engineering managers and their teams to identify and address these areas of concern before they become problematic.

It is very clear that as ‘Industry 4.0’ (and beyond) progresses in all aspects of engineering, many new skills and competencies are needed on a continually growing basis. Whether in the domination of digital systems in the design and production of products, or the use of artificial intelligence in the control and real-time adaptation of manufacturing systems, or the remote real-time performance analytics of globally distributed technology-based systems, it is essential that the engineering enterprise through its management teams are able to direct resources to the right place, at the right time, with the concomitant skills and capabilities to meet both customer and corporate expectations. The various analyses and case studies herein will certainly help engineering managers to focus their attention on quality decision making for positive results.

Recommended reading for the progressively minded future engineering leader.”
