ABSTRACT: Many would assume in a technology management program; a student would decide to conduct research on something that is more tangibly connected to the field. With a less technical approach, this topic is based on how employees & leaders are selected and developed in technology and aerospace organizations. When navigating the application of knowledge for achievable practical goals in a reproducible way, many forget that those decisions are contingent to what superiors believe, think, or feel about those employees. In the field of technology management, technology advancement and aerospace, one would consider how employees are advancing, if those employees feel empowered in the industry and if decisions are fair and justified. With the products that are attached to the technology and aerospace industry, it’s imperative that the investment of people in these respected fields is valuable. Evaluating a decision of bias on promotion opportunities will allow a greater understanding of value that is determined for employees in technology and aerospace fields. Those who are constituents of the aerospace industry, understand that the best work is done when the team feels appreciated, valued, and respected when producing a manufacturing aviation and technology products. The future of products we use today is contingent to how the creators and managers of those products feel daily. Examples of those products are airplane engines, AI software, cell phones, laptops/computers, GPS, electric vehicles, gasoline vehicles and much more.
