The modern world of pervasive complex systems demands planning and management activities and approaches that are able to harness and exploit the power of systems engineering and systems thinking to successfully deliver solutions to bring about real-world benefits.
Understanding the complex and often counterintuitive behaviour of enterprises and socio-technical systems and ensuring their successful management, delivery and operation is the interest of the Technology Management Group. Understanding and exploiting the interface where the engineering and operational management disciplines meet is critical to system success and this is where we explore and operate. Realising successful systems is the purpose of systems engineers, but we provide the management, planning and organisational frameworks within which the systems engineers can operate. An education in technology management is an education in complex problem analysis and synthesis, with robust, traceable decision making across engineering and the social sciences.
Who we are
We are one of the UK’s leading groups for education and research in technology management and enterprise systems. We are interdisciplinary by design, with backgrounds and skills spanning across the physical and social sciences and are highly collaborative both with academics in our sister Systems Group, but also across 星空体育官网 and beyond. We apply our expertise to understanding and solving the most complex of enterprise systems and technology management problems where approaches rooted purely in the traditional disciplines are not enough for the realities of the 21st Century.
Our aim is:
“To promote a systems approach to multiple related problems in enterprise and complex systems; specifically bringing together the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and the organisational, administrative, and planning abilities of management in order to improve the operational performance of
