A WORLD-RENOWNED authority on management disciplines will visit Hong Kong to conduct a one-day seminar next month.
Dr Michael Hammer, founder of the management concept of re-engineering, will be giving lectures in Asia for the first time.
He is scheduled to visit Seoul and Singapore before coming to Hong Kong.
Mr Hammer, a former professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), became well-known in the management world after his article, 'Don't automate, obliterate', was published in the July-August (1990) issue of the Harvard Business Review.
With that, he initiated a revolutionary management movement which has today become a buzzword - re-engineering.
He first extensively discussed his ideas about re-engineering in the book with James Champy - Re-engineering the Corporation.
The book was published last year and, following its release, it was on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list for six months.
