Article Abstract:

Reengineering requires a fundamental rethinking and redesign of the traditional ways of doing business. It has proven quite effective in improving the performance of some organizations, but has achieved little in other companies.

Several principles are developed, including the recognition that reengineering is a process and not a formula, that customer value must be its core objective and that communication is essential.
