IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge

IEEE TEMS Board of Directors-approved body of knowledge dedicated to technology and engineering management

The IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge (TEMSBOK) establishes a set of common practices for technology and engineering management, acts as a reference for entrepreneurs, establishes a basis for future official certifications, and summarizes the literature on the management field in order to publish reference documentation for new initiatives.

The editors have used a template approach with authors that instructed them on how to introduce their manuscript, how to organize the technology and area fundamentals, the managing approach, techniques and benefits, realistic examples that show the application of concepts, recommended best use (focusing on how to identify the most adequate approach to typical cases), with a summary and conclusion of each section, plus a list of references for further study.

The book is structured according to the following area knowledge chapters: business analysis, technology adoption, innovation, entrepreneurship, project management, digital disruption, digital transformation of industry, data science and management, and ethics and legal issues.

Specific topics covered include:

• Market requirement analysis, business analysis for governance planning, financial analysis, evaluation and control, and risk analysis of market opportunities
• Leading and managing working groups, optimizing group creation and evolution, enterprise agile governance, and leading agile organizations and working groups
• Marketing plans for new products and services, risk analysis and challenges for entrepreneurs, and procurement and collaboration
• Projects, portfolios and programs, economic constraints and roles, integration management and control of change, and project plan structure

The IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Body of Knowledge (TEMSBOK) will appeal to engineers, graduates, and professionals who wish to prepare for challenges in initiatives using new technologies, as well as managers who are responsible for conducting business involving technology and engineering.
