Technical Management In A Manufacturing Environment: With Important Tips on Practical Management

Managing technical people seems to be another kind of "ball-game". Many technical people are proud of their expertise and would not like to be always told what to do, as though they do not know their stuffs. Moreover, technical knowledge is advancing so fast that the current technical knowledge could become obsolete within a short time. This book provides many important ideas for the aspiring technical manager. Much of the knowledge presented in the book is not available in textbooks and could only be gained by being on the job. To manage and solve technical problems in an industrial or factory environment, book knowledge or theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient, and, practical knowledge or experience is just as important, if not more important. As a matter of fact, some things cannot be learnt from books but must be "experienced" first-hand. This kind of knowledge is of great importance to the practising engineer or technical manager.In this book the author shares this kind of knowledge which he has gained first-hand by being "on-the-job" with the reader, knowledge which is unlikely to be found in a normal technical management book. There are also important tips on practical management.Students of management should benefit from the book too.The book includes an introduction by a successful businessman offering important views on business and management.This book has been given several rounds of publicity by the press.
