Abstract

Purpose

As a traditional area, engineering management has always been at the core of the research study in academia. In the current uncertain world, more and more attention is paid to risk management. New risks in many practical engineering management problems require new computational methods and tools. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the state‐of‐the‐art research in engineering management and risk management in China.

Design/methodology/approach

The collected papers are briefly reviewed and positioned in existing work.

Findings

The special issue includes a variety of perspectives on engineering management and risk management from the Great China area.

Originality/value

The paper shows that all the papers address interesting research problems.
