Book Overview

Reengineering the Corporation  has swept through corporate America with a force unprecedented in recent years. Hailed by Business Week   as the best-written, most well-reasoned business book for the managerial masses since In Search of Excellence, the book has appeared on virtually every bestseller list, including a six-month run on The New York Times list. Reengineering has become a part of everyone's business vocabulary. It is undoubtedly the business concept of the nineties.

In The Reengineering Revolution, Michael Hammer and Steven Stanton build on this foundation to share with readers their experiences in successfully implementing reengineering in companies around the world. In an easy-reading, anecdotal style, the book offers behind-the-scenes stories of reengineering successes and failures; practical techniques for key aspects of reengineering, from breaking long standing assumptions to managing change; and insights into the new ways of thinking that reengineering requires.

Just as Reengineering the Corporation shot to the top of the bestseller charts, so has The Reengineering Revolution. It is the practical guide for which business people have been waiting to help them achieve the dramatic improvements -- in speed, productivity, quality, service and profits -- that reengineering promises.

A valuable guide, but missing some questions

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
If you're going to reengineer, this book is a valuable one to have-- in particular, I'd like to take the chapter about choosing a consultant and staple it to the doors of many a company (and I'm a consultant). The book covers elements of success, practical tips for making it work, and some case studies. What I find missing is the question "Should I reengineer?". (The answer, I think, isn't always 'yes'.) It would be *most* useful if it first helped managers make sure that reengineering really is a Good and Necessary Thing, given the pain it inevitably causes a corporation. There's also a little bit of a sense that nay-sayers shouldn't be tolerated at all, and I find that a little bit short-sighted.Nice to have for managers and consultants.

LONG LIVE THE IDEAS OF THIS PROACTIVE MANAGER!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Michael Hammer is truly a proactive manager. His ideas strike hard and are STILL needed here in the US and abroad. He helped us prune our organization so it could grow. Reengineering will take on many forms as the business world around us changes, but the concepts are rock-solid and they will be the best foundation for a business that wants to continually improve. Hammer covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you want to your business to always be operating at its maximum performance, you should follow his advice. Some of the ideas he promotes are found in SUCCESS BOUND, another book that teaches you how to be a proactive thinker.One of my favorite quotes is, "The starting point for organization success is well designed processes." Unfortunately too many business managers tried to implement reengineering concepts, but they failed miserably because they didn't take the time to learn from Hammer as to what "well designed" meant.Read this book and you will find out and you will put your organization on the road to proactive success.
