I very much like the book's focus on treating the vehicle as a system (both in a technical and management way). Developing an automotive vehicle is not just about developing the technology, the technology must be relevant to the needs of the consumer. As the author points out in the preface, the customer buys the 'whole car', not just a collection of systems and components... . Engineering programs (and books) do a great job of teaching the technology and Management programs (and books) do a great job of teaching management principles, but what seems missing is a book (like this) that bridges the technology and management principles. - Craig J.
