Global competition, sluggish economies and the potential offered by emerging technologies have pushed firms to fundamentally rethink their business processes.
Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has become recognized as a means to restructure again bureaucratized processes to achieve the strategic objectives of increased efficiency, reduced costs, improved quality and greater customer satisfaction.
Business Process Change: Reengineering Concepts, Methods and Technologies is a book about the evolution of a powerful process management concept. It is for managers, consultants, researchers, vendors of BPR, and academics. Familiarize yourself with BPR by learning the answers to related questions, such as:
- What facilitates BPR?
- What are the key enablers for BPR?
- What are BPR technologies?
- What is the role of information technology in BPR?
- How can process change be implemented?
- And much, much more!
