Description:This book will enable engineering organisations to manage their valuable knowledge resources and the people who possess them. The authors show that the loss of experience and knowledge base due to staff turnover erodes 'corporate culture'; a process that keeps industry in a continuous need to reinvent itself. The book concentrates on process, culture, leadership, structure, and emphasises employees as assets rather than as expendable resources. This book provides effective methodologies to devise real solutions for challenges faced by today's engineering managers.Also available:How to Communicate in Business - ISBN 9780852968789Skills Development for Engineers: innovative model for advanced learning in the workplace - ISBN 9780852969793The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
