Description and Table of Contents
Description
An approach to reorganising businesses using software engineering as a guiding paradigm. The author argues that software engineering provides both the necessary analytical expertise as well as the tools to transform process descriptions to support systems. He begins by introducing the necessary concepts, principles and practice before demonstrating how a business can define and construct the information base required. As a result, any manager or technically-minded person will learn here how to implement the reengineering of a business.
