This chapter provides a contextual background for high value engineering (HVE). It defines the subject area and identifies the key trends of development. The concepts of engineering value chain (EVC) and global engineering networks (GEN) are introduced as an overall framework to bring together the key elements of this book. This introduction sets a scene for updating the existing knowledge on engineering operations for the current business environments by addressing the challenges and opportunities of managing complex engineering networks in an international context.
