The link below is an survey which should be required reading for all middle and upper managers in engineering companies:

It contains a large number of divergent opinions, but states most of tone which I have noted amongst engineers, and says most of the things they would be very unlikely to transmit to management.
Since this is a long article, I will not be commenting on it except to say that it does allude to a multitude of complex problems which we should all be thinking about and addressing.
Hope this provokes as much thought for you as it is doing for me.
