Companies are under severe pressure to find pioneering ways to both maximize revenue and reduce costs. High cost bases and inefficient, inflexible operations are no longer acceptable. Managers are in doubt as to whether their organizations are prepared to meet ever-increasing expectations for sustainable growth as they continue to deal with the challenges of the global business environment. Used appropriately as a major performance lever, engineering and technology management programs can help organizations achieve an acceptable level of sustainable growth. This conference will shed light into engineering and technology management techniques and practices that may help organizations in their quest to achieve sustainable growth. The 2nd GCETM is a highly anticipated conference due to the popularity of the fields. The 2nd GCETM is set to become an exciting event with the potential for continued growth throughout the years. The 2nd GCETM will be a forum for academics, managers and solution providers, which brings together researchers and practitioners from all over the world, promoting opportunities to share experiences, debate ideas, identify tendencies, and introduce the latest developments in the largely multidisciplinary fields of Engineering & Technology Management. This is especially important since these fields can largely benefit from increased collaboration.
