Preface

Developing Managerial Skills in Engineers and Scientists: Succeeding as a Technical Manager is addressed to engineers, scientists, technical executives, managers, supervisors, and students of engineering and R&D management who wish to become better managers. It is, for the most part, a book on managing rather than a book about management. It takes a broad view of managing as an occupation, a career, and a major concern for technical professionals and their employers-hightechnology organizations.
