Career An engineer by training, he is the proponent of a process oriented view of business management. He earned BS, MS, and Ph.D. , author of Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto MANIFESTO. A solemn declaration, by the constituted authorities of a nation, which contains the reasons for its public acts towards another. 2. On the declaration of war, a manifesto is usually issued in which the nation declaring the war, states the reasons for Business Revolution, to help senior executives understand e-marketplaces. The traveling seminar will address such issues as how many e-marketplaces to participate in, the risks, and how to work with competitors. The tour is set to take place early next year and will stop in Chicago, Dallas and the New York/New Jersey area. E-marketplaces -- a phenomenon that is radically changing the business landscape -- have had incredible growth over the last year and promise great value. This great value comes from reduced prices and from transforming entire industries by making them more efficient. But B2B (Business to Business) Refers to one business communicating with or selling to another. See B2B e-commerce, B2C and B2G. B2B - business to business e-marketplaces present many companies with a paradox. Some pundits have said, "you must move fast," while others advise, "be prepared for B2B to take a long time." Companies must be able to do both: act at Internet speed yet achieve sustained benefits over the long-term -- a two-year sprint. These seminars with Dr. Hammer will prepare companies for this sprint. Dr. Hammer will be teaming with these leading e-business companies to create a symposium on e-marketplaces. Dr. Hammer said, "the potential value for industries reengineering through e-marketplaces eclipses anything previously achieved from reengineering within corporations, but only if it is done properly." Dr. Hammer will lead these seminars, which will include other important e-marketplace experts as well as case studies of actual e-marketplaces. "HP is pleased to co-sponsor this important series of e-marketplace seminars," said Nigel Ball, HP's vice president and general manager of HP's E-Services Partner Division. "Dr. Hammer is a recognized authority in this field and we believe his experience helping companies compete effectively in the evolving world of e-markets will be extremely valuable for everyone attending." The tour is billed to be more than just an e-business conference; this tour will initiate a symposium for executives to continually learn about the ever-evolving world of e-marketplaces. "Working with Dr. Hammer, Ariba and HP, we think this conference series will be the definitive educational event for companies that are looking to join e-marketplaces but have questions about how to proceed," said Greg Staszko, principal with Deloitte Consulting and leader of the firm's Ariba relationship. "This won't just be a conference about technology. It'll teach companies how e-business technology can enable companies to participate in one of the greatest revolutions in business." "We know that the value of e-marketplaces is in the cost savings that they can bring. It is our intention to ensure that all companies are reaping the rewards -- continuously. e-marketplaces are excellent vehicles for today's companies to experience success in the Internet economy The Internet Economy refers to conducting business through markets whose infrastructure is based on the Internet and World-Wide Web. An Internet economy differs from a traditional economy in a number of ways, including: communication, market segmentation, distribution costs, and price. ," said Chris Abate, director of alliances at Ariba.
