چکیده
The possible applicability of business process reengineering (BPR) to organisations in the public sector is explored through analysis of the central issues in BPR and the emerging experience of organisations which have recently implemented it. In particular, the paper suggests that success of reengineering may depend critically on the strategic capability of the organisation prior to undertaking the effort. For that reason well-performing organisations are more likely to improve performance by means of BPR than are weak ones. Yet, in the public sector, it tends to be badly performing agencies which are most encouraged to undertake BPR. Knowing and understanding the reasons for success or failure of BPR in private organisations can prepare public sector managers for undertaking the effort, but each reengineering initiative must be tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the individual agency. Public sector managers should use the widest possible definition of 'value' when analysing value-added in process reengineering and should be especially sensitive to the way in which 'value' in the public sector is differently interpreted by major stakeholders. During this learning process, public sector agencies would be well advised to be conservative in estimating gains from BPR. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

Impaired Retinal Function in Young Labrador Retriever Dogs Heterozygous for Late Onset Rod-Cone Degeneration
Xenon-flash d.c.-electroretinograms were recorded from dark adapted, rod-cone degenerate homozygote affected (n = 6), heterozygote carrier (n = 3) and control retinas (n = 4) at 3 and 4 months of age, starting at 0.6 log units below control PII threshold. One log unit higher stimuli were necessary to evoke PII in heterozygote and affected retinas compared to controls. Unique to the heterozygote...
متن کاملMeyniel Weakly Triangulated Graphs - I: Co-perfect Orderability
We show that Meyniel weakly triangulated graphs are co-perfectly orderable (equivalently , that P 5-free weakly triangulated graphs are perfectly orderable). Our proof is algorithmic, and relies on a notion concerning separating sets, a property of weakly triangulated graphs, and several properties of Meyniel weakly triangulated graphs.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the technology performance of Digital Signal Processing components (DSPs) using the S curve model. In the first part, the theoretical base of this model is established through a comparative study between the S curve model and other concepts with which it is closely related: innovation diffusion models and life cycle models. The purpose of...
متن کاملBounds on the Number of Knight's Tours
Knight’s tours are a fascinating subject. New lower bounds on the number of knight’s tours and structured knight’s tours on n x IZ chessboards and even n are presented. For the natural special case n = 8 a new upper bound is proved.
