Reengineering the Corporation, the international bestseller is the pioneering book on the most important topic in business circles today: reengineering--the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization, and culture to achieve a quantum leap in performance. Michael Hammer and James Champy show how some of the world's premier corporations are reengineering to save hundreds of millions of dollars a year, achieve unprecedented levels of customer satisfaction, and speed up and make more flexible all aspects of their operations.

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.
