Abstract

Scientists, engineers and other technologists have a crucial role to play in the development and deployment of technology for the economic benefit of society, and also to address challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and resource scarcity. In this context, the management of engineering and technology becomes increasingly important. Technological investment and effort needs to be aligned with organisational and wider social needs and aspirations throughout the life cycle from design, through to production and the creation of valuable services. In order to manage engineering and technology, processes are needed to align inputs and activities with desired outputs along the technology management process framework comprising five broad areas of activity. These process areas are elaborated in this chapter, posed as questions that managers, engineers and technologists must address for the effective management of engineering and technological knowledge and resources.
