In Germany there is a study course called industrial management which is half engineering and half business administration. The intend is to train students to understand both and coordinate business processes and technical processes. That would be my main domain of expertise. But I’m also a programmer and system administrator.
What issues in your domain call most critically for sharp thinking?*
Business administration is not as simple as most managers seem to think. Instead a business administrator needs to understand what is going on and what results any taken measure will produce and what the constraints of any given methodology are.
What do you know that could be of interest to the LessWrong community?
I know economics, I understand how people interact inside organizations, I know some engineering.
