Beyond re-engineering - Michael Hammer

Around the world, companies are reinventing the rules, assumptions and policies of the industrial era. Beyond Re-engineering charts the progress of this phenomenon and looks to the future.Michael Hammer is one of the world's leading business thinkers. In 1990 he pioneered reengineering and set in motion a series of events that has transformed the business world beyond recognition.To succeed - or even to survive - in today's global economy, companies must refocus and reorganize themselves around their core processes: the end-to-end sequences of tasks that create customer value.The process-centred organization signifies a break with the past and, as such, marks the end of the Industrial Revolution and of the organizations that were designed for it. It means the end of narrow jobs, supervisory management, traditional career paths and feudal cultures, and ushers in a new era of flexibility.Beyond Re-engineering is not about reengineering, it is about the shape of tomorrow's businesses. Michael Hammer illuminates this new world in which all the familiar rules have been broken, and helps people to prepare for a radically different business future.
