Download or read book Re engineering Your Business written by Daniel C. Morris and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 1993 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's no secret that in order to succeed - or even survive - American businesses need to make fundamental changes in the way they're run. The thinking used to be that automation alone was the answer. Judging from this country's slippage in the increasingly competitive global marketplace, that idea was obviously off the mark. Why? Because automating organizational structures and processes that were inefficient in the first place is akin to getting power windows installed in a car that needs an engine overhaul." "Clearly, the time is ripe for re-engineering. It's one of the most talked-about topics in offices and on factory floors throughout the country today. It's gaining momentum as the way to reduce costs, improve time to market, enhance customer satisfaction, and boost sales incredibly, all at the same time. But, while most everyone recognizes the need for re-engineering, and its vast potential, hardly anyone has a clue about how to make it happen in his or her own company." "This groundbreaking book offers the first detailed explanations of the whats, whys, and hows of business reengineering for managers at all levels in any kind of company. Written by two acknowledged re-engineering experts, and as comprehensive as it is pragmatic, Re-engineering Your Business shows you how to build a model of your current business, analyze it, and use it to design new processes and organizational structures; take into account the differing needs of individual departments, and delineate their roles in the re-engineering process; position your business to react to changing conditions and challenges in the marketplace; create a built-in capacity for ongoing change - and make change the friend, not the foe, of management and workers; cultivate an environment that expects and rewards not just quality assurance, but "quality initiative"; implement the new business operation and organizational structure while minimizing any sense of uncertainty in the workplace; and alter technological systems so that they support the new structure." "You'll also find numerous examples and illustrations throughout the book which are drawn from the authors' actual experience." "The steps described in Re-engineering Your Business are not merely unproven theories. They have already yielded quantifiable results for some of the most forward-thinking companies in the nation. What's more, many people are of the opinion that, in the near future, there will be two types of businesses: those that re-engineered, and those that failed." "All you need to get started are a willingness to effect fundamental changes in outdated "business-as-usual" practices ... and the step-by-step guidance, bold prescriptions, and real-world insights contained in this remarkable book."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Reengineering Management written by James Champy and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-author of the monumental bestseller Reengineering the Corporation continues the reengineering revolution with another national bestseller that has already sold more than 165,000 copies in hardcover Reengineering Management is a brilliant, practical and much needed book on the most powerful management idea of the decade. Reengineering—changing the traditional and outdated organization, processes and culture of a company—is corporate America's greatest challenge today. In Reengineering Management, Champy examines the far-reaching changes managers must make for themselves and their companies to succeed in an era of unprecedented competition. Through his extensive consulting and research work, he shows how reengineering succeeds only when managers reinvent their own jobs and managerial styles. Otherwise, the ultra-efficient and effective reengineered processes for acquiring and serving customers, filling orders, bringing new concepts to market and other key business activities eventually fall apart. Champy illustrates this new management agenda through first-hand experiences of managers of reengineered operations at Federal Express, Wisconsin Electric, CIGNA Health Care, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T Universal Card Services and other companies. Champy shows how they are mastering the managerial challenges of reengineering, and as a result are making their organizations exciting and competitive. As more and more organizations reengineer, the experiences of these managers will become an insiders' guide to managerial life in the company of the future. Reengineering Management picks up where Reengineering the Corporation left off—by exploring the managerial implications of the reengineered workplace. As reengineering becomes critical to all organizations, Reengineering Management will be the road map for managerial success in the future. It is, indeed, the manifesto for the next managerial revolution.
