Management for Engineers is based on the fundamental belief that engineers can contribute more to an organisation than technological knowledge and engineering design skills. It provides engineering students with everything they need to know about being successful leaders and managers in today's corporate environment, including planning, organising, controlling, directing, allocating resources, communicating and co-ordinating. This new edition has been significantly revised to include the latest research and debates on organisations, strategies, managing people and technology, and marketing, User-friendly and practical, the book is rich with examples to assist students to apply their learning within the Australian and New Zealand business context. - Back cover.
