BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING. Breakpoint Strategies for Market Dominance.

New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1993. 1st edition 241 pp. hardcover with dustjacket . To become dominant in todays marketplace, companies must reinvent their operations; but how? In this book, four internationally recognized experts from Coopers & Lybrand?Ø?Äôs manufacturing consultancy explain how to go beyond the old way of thinking beyond functional silos, cost cutting, even the simple notion of teamwork to create a new core business process oriented company. A core business process is one that cuts across boundaries, functions and departments. By focusing on the effectiveness of core business processes, and pulling supporting processes and resources to those core business processes, companies can streamline operations and inevitably cut costs without making arbitrary head count decisions. By reading the market to see which core business processes can produce results beyond what the market knows is possible, a company can find a BreakPoint, an opportunity that will cause a disproportionate reaction in the marketplace and pull the company into a leadership position. Name first endpaper. Otherwise very nice and clean copy.
