In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, a prosperous company can face disruption and be put out of business in a mere instant. The rapid advancement of various technologies that once required years can now be accomplished in mere months or even weeks. Moreover, there are instances where the entirety of engineering work is confined within a single company or engineering organization. Business strategies have undergone a significant transformation. The analysis of competitive forces within an industry has matured to encompass the concepts of disruptive innovation and coopetition.

In this dynamic ecosystem, where technology undergoes rapid changes and development, an engineering R&D organization must maintain an unwavering pace of innovation to remain relevant. Failure to do so will quickly render them obsolete. This book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive and holistic approach to engineering management. Successful managers establish a solid foundation of a common culture that fosters learning, value creation, diversity, and inclusion. They create organizations that seamlessly integrate the core engineering functions of strategic planning, research, and development, enabling them to comprehend and guide a broader R&D system that extends beyond their organization's boundaries. This holistic approach, referred to as engineering management, is aimed at extracting the utmost value in the shortest time possible.

The content for this book draws upon over 105 years of combined experience in a rapidly evolving industry. Throughout the chapters, practical examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the concepts discussed.
