Considers the nature and application of management principles throughout the technology product/project life cycles. Reflects the current “reengineering” trend within American companies — and the resultant downsizing of middle management, an emphasis on employee teams, a focus on quality and productivity and customer satisfaction. Incorporates new management methods and tools. Surveys recent global trends that affect American technology management.
