The Origin and System Analysis of Harmonious Management for Engineering

Abstract

Engineering is a production activity aimed at increasing people’s utility; however, serious crises are frequently reported to be caused by engineering constructions, both for nature and human beings. Based on engineering theories of philosophy, systems and ecology, this paper analyzed the prevailing defects of traditional project management approaches, explored the importance of harmony in engineering and engineering management, and discussed the developmental inevitability, concept connotation and system structure of harmonious management for engineering.
