  This text was in the American bestseller lists for months afters its publication in 1993. Now it is available as a trade paperback. Michael Hammer and James Champy aim to re-invent the nature of work to create the single best hope for the competitive turnaround of business. They ask Why do we do what we do at all? . Instead of tinkering with our computerizing - an aspect of the work design, the answer is to reengineer the entire corporation from top to bottom. Reengineering is a practice that is taking off with great urgency in the business community. After a decade of restructuring and downsizing, of cutting costs and capacity, managers need to rethink boldly, the authors argue, to yield the dramatic improvements for companies to compete successfully in a changing world. This book should show them how.
