Radojcic Riko. Managing More-than-Moore Integration Technology Development

Springer, 2018 (2019 Edition). — 207 p. — ISBN10: 3319927000, 13 978-3319927008.This book presents the real challenges and experiences of managing an advanced semiconductor technology development and integration program - but using a novelized form. The material is presented in a conversational format through a story that follows a fictional narrator as she grows from an intern to a manager in a (fictional) chip company. The story describes the technology development program from management, engineering and human perspectives, and exposes not only the management and technical issues but also the typical work-life balance challenges experienced by engineers working in the technology industry. Use of a series of realistic and representative vignettes, supported by a set of illustrative cartoon-ish panels, presents the serious management topics in a light and readable way.Intern (and Setting Up an Advanced Tech Integration Program).
