Description: Book Review: Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution, Michael Hammer and James Champy. 'The central thesis is that American corporations must radically redesign their work to survive in the 1990s.' A primer on how to reengineer is the latter half of the book. 'This is an interesting and provocative book...which leaves one wondering whether reengineering is the latest idea destined for the management theory junkyard.'
