Abstract: We tend to use the terms engineering management (EM) and 
management of technology (MOT) interchangeably. This paper tries to 
examine what these mean through a bibliometric study of IEEE Transactions 
on Engineering Management. As well as introducing bibliometric ideas, 
network analysis tools identify and explore central concepts covered by 
EM/MOT and their inter-relationships. Specific results to be presented 
will cover different levels of analysis and so show different dimensions 
which can be extracted form citation data: 
Co-word terms from article keywords used to identify themes 
Journal title co-citation network: link MOT to other disciplines 
Individual publications co-citation networks used to show concentrations 
of underlying themes and how they relate 
Citation patterns of publication titles show that MOT appears dominant in 
IEEE TEM and the discipline has a bridging role in integrating ideas from 
several distinct areas including innovation, NPD, strategy, organisation 
science and management science. The analysis further suggests that MOT 
essentially relates to the firm rather than policy.
