schlattmann

This book conveys useful knowledge, skills and behaviour that an engineer who is responsible for product development/project management often needs, but which is not given enough attention in the usual engineering education. It goes beyond the specialist knowledge into the human domain, because technical and/or organisational difficulties are in fact always based on human problems.

The book is aimed at professionals and managers working in the development of machines, apparatus, equipment and the like, including the responsible organizational managers.
