Process Re-engineering

As part of my MBA program, I'm taking a class on Information Technology for Management. While this is a topic with which I have more than a passing familiarity, I am finding myself picking up a great deal of information as well as new ways of looking at old problems.

One of the assignments for the class was to read a well known business book by the title of Reengineering the Corporation.

The last edition is from 2003 so it was updated relatively recently. It includes discussion of how to approach the difficult problem of re-making processes at companies that have existed for a long time. It is a powerful book that is a must read for any manager who is struggling to bring change to their department and improve productivity. 

It is an easy read, is just over 200 pages and I cannot recommend it enough. Buy it now and take it with you on your next plane ride, it will be worth the 12 bucks. I promise.
