This text is meant for introductory and midlevel program and project managers, Systems Engineering (SE), Technology Management (TM) and Engineering Management (EM) professionals. This includes support personnel who underpin and resource programs and projects. Anyone who wishes to understand what SE, TM and EM are, how they work together, what are their differences, when should they be used and what benefits should be expected, will find this text an invaluable resource. It will also help work for students to understand the career path in innovation and entrepreneurship to choose from. There is considerable confusion today on when and where to use each discipline, and how they should be applied to individual circumstances. This text provides practitioners guidelines necessary to know when to use a specific discipline, how to use them and what results to expect. The text clearly shows how the disciplines retain focus of goals and targets, uses cost, scope, schedule and risk to their advantage, while complying and informing to investors, oversight and those related personnel who eventually govern corporate or government decisions. It is more of an entry and midlevel general overview instructing the reader how to use the disciplines and when to use them. To use them all properly, more in-depth study is always necessary. However, the reader will know when to start, where to go and what disciplines to employ depending on the product, service, market, infrastructure, system or service is under consideration. To date, none of this is available in existing literature. All texts on the subject stretch to try and cover all things, which is simply not possible, even with the definitions assigned by the three disciplines.
The discipline of System Engineering has been proven as a successful and complete method for the identification, development and fielding of technology and its support products and services to market. There is significant accounting for acquisition and finance within the discipline, but its main focus is to keep the innovation (technology-based product or service) moving and developing, on track and toward an endpoint. Systems Engineering’s basic principle is to always focus on the endpoint of a successful development of products and services, while considering the stakeholders needs and wants throughout the entire marketplace. Those practicing Systems Engineering build and provide technology-based solutions to the market for others to acquire, modify and utilize.
The discipline of Technology Management is the best use of those products and services within the infrastructure of an end user to achieve their goals or missions. There is an acquisition cycle and cost accounting, while considering the specific needs of one end user or customer, and the behavior of that technology within the end users’ specific system of reference. Technology Management is a usefocused rather than a product or service-focused discipline, where solutions are acquired for one specific infrastructure from the market, rather than products or services being provided to the market. Those involved with Technology Management use the marketplace as their tool to acquire solutions for their own purposes. They shop for solutions which can be adapted to their use from a marketplace. These solutions can be modified or otherwise adapted to other solutions, but eventually they all wind up in a single infrastructure to meet or exceed a set of mission requirements.
