Some issues and trendsdriving engineeringmanagement
Improving methods for capturing and sharingknowledge
Managing globally dispersed teams (working with
different cultures) High pressure for speed in all types of work, faster
development times Zero defects (six sigma) expectations Increasing need for true systems engineering

Some issues and trendsdriving engineeringmanagement
Increased multidisciplinary expectations forengineering managers
Focus on continuous improvement utilizing
numerous methodologies Larger involvement in business decisions
(marketing, sales, finance, etc.) Increased number of engineers in non-engineering
functions Management of change
