Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Revised and updated for the new economy, this text describes how the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization and culture can achieve a quantum leap in performance. In the 1990s, reengineering was implemented in the back office, the factory and the warehouse. For the new century it is being applied to the front office and the revenue producing side of the business. "Business Week" dubbed the implementation of e-commerce, "e-engineering". The Internet demands new ways of working, and reengineering is the tool that can create them. The new wave of reengineering is breaking down the walls that separate corporations from each other. Processes do not stop at corporate doorsteps. Product development, planning and many other processes are really inter-enterprise in nature; entailing work by both customer and supplier. The Internet facilitates the reengineering of these inter-corporate processes by allowing information to be shared across corporate boundaries.

The big pay of Taylorism is that the simplicity of the work process is such that there are limited training costs and people with little education or skill can perform the process. Whilst this approach may still have a role with manufacturing ... Read More

Rating: - This booked marked the beginning of my journey...
Seven years ago when I was still in college we needed some stuff on changing businesses. A friend of mine, studying at another college, gave this book to me as it was mandatory reading material in his economics and business class. So what did this had to do with computer science?

This was the first book I had ever read without any mandatory pressure from school. And actually, it was fun! The book contains good samples of real business cases, although a bit dated now, and lets you think about ... Read More

Rating: - Brilliant product of the ghostwriter
Donna Sammons Carpenter ghostwrote this book.
It made waves when it first came out.
However, like most management fad books, its message is not really relevant any more.

Buy and read a real management book, for example, something or anything by Alfred Chandler.
