A Content Analysis of Data Collection and Analysis Techniques as Reported in the Engineering Management Literature
Abstract
Engineering management involves an extremely diverse range of topics, problems, and questions, many of which involve both human and non-human elements. An analysis of the methods used in the field of engineering management is important in order to identify trends in the use of methods, to promote the training of future research practitioners, and to build overall knowledge for and about change. This article reviews the studies reported in journals relevant to engineering management and describes and categorizes the data collection and analysis methods, reporting relative frequencies and trends in the use of these methods.
