The Field of Operations
"Most industries today are struggling with low-growth, even stagnant, markets…
In this environment, the only way to grow and to take market share from competitors is by running rings around them: by operating at lower costs that can be turned into lower prices and by providing extraordinary levels of quality and service. In other words, the game must now be played on the field of operations."
Michael Hammer, author of “Reengineering the Corporation,” “The Reengineering Revolution,” and “Beyond Reengineering.”
