“企业再造”(RE—Reengineering)是由原美国麻省理工学院教授、现任一家管理研究和咨询公司总裁的Michael Hammer于1990年首先提出的。由于迎合了近年来企业成长环境的巨大变化和信息化进程日新月异对现代企业管理方式的挑战,RE提出后便迅速成为席卷欧美等国家和地区的管理新浪潮。 RE-Reengineering was first proposed by Michael Hammer, a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and now president of a management research and consulting firm, in 1990. In response to the huge changes in business growth environment and the rapid changes in information technology to the challenge of modern enterprise management in recent years, RE has rapidly become a new wave of management sweeping across Europe, the United States and other countries and regions.
