The authors have administered a survey to explore certain issues in the management of engineering processes in Taiwan. The results of the survey are reported in this paper along with indications of future research which are suggested by the results obtained. The survey was developed in order to explore the manner in which engineering work is organized and led in Taiwan. The immediate goal of the work is to explore the interaction of Chinese culture and engineering process. The purpose of the work is to develop an understanding of the interaction of Chinese culture and engineering processes in order to provide a foundation to develop a culturally sensitive approach to the management of engineering work that is appropriate in the Chinese context. The survey explores a number of issues around the effect of corporate and project governance and the kinds of management processes used. The survey was developed with closed form questions to enable data analysis independent of language and to provide data which can be analyzed quickly in the development of sufficient empirical understanding to develop future research approaches. The survey deliberately used common language to describe the issues about which questions were asked to avoid any difficulty with alienating respondents who do not overtly practice or use the technical vocabulary of systems engineering. The results we obtained show that systems level issues are important in most of the companies surveyed.
