For modern companies, large and small, it's now or never to build business on the platform of information technology. Companies that e-engineer are ready for business in the 21st century. Companies that don't, James Champy argues, are history. He starts by making the challenging statement that modern management practices aren't keeping pace with technological advances. Without solid strategy, technology can actually harm a company's progress, not help it. Champy then underlines the four foundations underlying the e-engineering process: propositions, processes, participation and preparedness. The book includes case studies and interviews with many leaders from a wide range of companies.
