Michael Hammer (economist)
Michael Hammer (born April 13, 1948 in Annapolis , Maryland , † September 3, 2008 in Boston , Massachusetts ) was an American economist . He was instrumental in introducing the concept of the mid-1990s, re-engineering of business processes involved.
Michael Hammer studied mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . After receiving his doctorate in 1973, he taught computer science there.
In 1987, Hammer became a management consultant, and in 1993 he and James Champy published the book “Reengineering the Corporation” (German: “Business Reengineering: The radical cure for the company”). In the book he advocates the thesis that efficiency and productivity can be increased by dividing all actions into small units and then reorganizing them. Companies such as Procter & Gamble or Xerox have successfully implemented this approach.
