The Engineering Management discipline remains complex, multi-disciplinary and has progressed and broadened in scope significantly over the last 10 - 20 years. Previously, the field has been fragmented and not aligned with the purposes of economic development, mega-project delivery, and technological progress. This handbook will fill that need by offering new engineering concepts such as simple, complicated, and complex, which have never been included in this discipline before and will generate interest from higher education, financial institutions, and technology companies.
Handbook of Engineering Management: The Digital Economy focuses on transdisciplinary integration and complex evolving systems. It discusses the incorporation of System of Systems along with engineering economic strategies for leading economic growth. The handbook highlights functional leadership as the main part of an Engineering Manager's competency and discusses how to form alliances strategically. In addition, fundamental differences between doing environmental and social impact assessments are presented, and how they can lead to opportunities and not to additional risks. The book goes on to bring together the three important areas of Engineering Management which include Knowledge Management, the Digital Economy, and Digital Manufacturing.
An ideal read for Engineering Managers, Project Managers, Industrial and Systems Engineers, Supply Chain Engineers, Professionals who want to advance their knowledge, and graduate students
