Kurzbeschreibung
This new edition of a key reference on System Engineering Management reflects current world-wide trends, emphasizing the application of principles and concepts of system engineering and how these principles aid in the development, utilization, and support of systems. New content includes coverage of the changing areas of system requirements, increasing system complexities, extended system life cycles vs. shorter technology cycles, higher costs, and greater international competition. Notable is new discussion of the inter-relationship of project management and systems engineering as they work together at the project team level. A solutions manual will be available.
