Abstract

This book is primarily intended for engineers that reach a managerial position in organisations in the industrial sector (production or transport), public and private services, societies, banks, etc., as well as for members of staff who support these functions. In addition, this book is also intended for engineering students who aspire to a managerial or staff position in the future. Whenever we use the word “manager”, we specifically address the engineer who performs a managing function.
