Synopsis

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.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Reengineering the Corporation sets aside much of the received wisdom of the last 200 years of industrial management and in its place presents a new set of organizing principles by which managers can rebuild their businesses.

The book provides numerous examples and in-depth case studies of how leading organizations are achieving significant competitive gains through reengineering: How Ford Motor reduced the size of its North American accounts payable organization by 80% while improving the process; how IBM is leasing subsidiary cut its deal-making process from seven days to four hours; and how Taco Bell used a new set of production and management processes to fuel a six-fold growth in revenue.

James Champy is chairman of Perot Systems consulting practice and is the leading authority on the implementation of business reengineering initiatives.
