Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fascinating and compelling in equal measure this volume presents a critical examination of the multilayered relationships between engineering and business. In so doing the study also stimulates ethical reflection on how these relationships either enhance or inhibit strategies to address vital issues of our time. In the context of geopolitical, economic, and environmental tendencies the authors explore the world that we should want to create and the role of the engineer and the business manager in this endeavor.Throughout this volume the authors identify periods of alignment and periods of tension between engineering and business. They look at focal points of the engineering-business nexus related to the development of capitalism. The book explores past and present movements to reshape, reform, or reject this nexus.The volume is informed by questions of importance for industry as well as for higher education. These are: What kinds of conflict arise for engineers in their attempts to straddle both professional and organizational commitments How should professionals be managed to avoid a clash of managerial and professional cultures How do engineers create value in firms and corporations What kinds of tension exist between higher education and industry What challenges does the neoliberal entrepreneurial university pose for management, faculty, students, society, and industry Should engineering graduates be ready for work, and can they possibly be What kinds of business issues are reflected in engineering education curricula, and for what purpose Is there a limit to the degree of business hybridization in engineering degree programs, and if so, what would be the criterion for its definition Is there a place in engineering education curricula for reflective critique of assumptions related to business and economic thinking One ideal of managementand control comes to the fore as the Anthropocene - the world transformed into an engineered artefact which includes human existence. The volume raises the question as to how engineering and business together should be considered, given the fact that the current engineering-business nexus remains embedded within an economic model of continual growth. By addressing macro-level issues such as energy policy, sustainable development, globalization, and social justice this study will both help create awareness and stimulate development of self-knowledge among practitioners, educators, and students thereby ultimately addressing the need for better informed citizens to safeguard planet Earth as a human life supporting system.
