the IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management
George has been associated with the IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management for many years: ten years as department editor and fourteen years on the editorial board. His research has focused on engineering management and he has published extensively in such publications as Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Applied Psychology, Research-Technology Management, IEEE Spectrum, and the Transactions on Engineering Management. George has served on several editorial boards and review panels at the National Science Foundation on Innovation and Organization Change. George received his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1966 from the University of Michigan. He was a Research Associate at the University of Michigan's Institute of Social Research from 1970 - 1971: an Associate Professor in Organizational Psychology and Management at MIT's Sloan School of Management, 1966-1975; Ford foundation Professor at the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management in 1975 - 76; Professor of Administrative Studies at York University (Canada) from 1976 - 1980.

Please extend a warm welcome to George Farris. Excerpt of Anthony Bainbridge's Announcement on the Launching of MPN The MPN web site having been launched it is now time to establish our teams, create and enhance the products, services and programmes, get to know each other and work together to make MPN a success. Progress has been slow during 2001, but during the year the decision was made to focus initially on five key aspects of management alive in the engineering community: Knowledge management (led by James Gunn), Others will follow in due course, as and when proposals are made, leaders identified and resources available. Day to day activities will be the responsibility of members of the Executive Team, supported by our new PN Manager Kate Barnham. The larger Advisory Panel, chaired by John Lowen, will be concerned with generation & validation of ideas, strategic direction, and where the need arises 'hands-on' involvement in specific events. It is from their contributions that we shall derive the comfort that we are broadly on the right track. We welcome in particular Dr Wade Shaw, representing the Engineering Management Society (EMS) of IEEE. I represent MPN on the Board of Governors of EMS. It is stated policy that MPN and EMS work closely together to develop the market in which we serve our members' needs. Initially this will be made manifest through our involvement in the International Engineering Management Conference (IEMC), to be held this year at St Johns College, Cambridge in August 2002. May I commend the conference website at http://www.ieee-iemc-2002.org/. MPN and EMS wish to collaborate in exchanging publications, developing new ideas jointly, debating substantive management issues, risk sharing on conferences, etc., to the benefit of members of both institutions worldwide. Abstract of Roger Manley's talk given at the 2002 January BoG Session Business Ethics and Enron - Can You Trust Anybody Anymore?
Professor Manley studied engineering at the Naval Academy and during his military career completed his PhD at RPI. He is a very active consultant and educator and serves on the boards of several companies in Florida. He has a special interest in organizational development, change management, and professional ethics. |
