The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of alignment between IT and business strategy and IT infrastructure capability on BPR project performance and implementations in organizations. The research model was developed based on an intensive literature review of conceptual and empirical studies of BPR implementation in organizations. Questionnaires were sent out to senior managers and p...

Many different methods and techniques can be used for modelling business processes within business process renovation (BPR) projects. There are several techniques and tools that attempt to effectively represent all modelling perspectives and fulfil all goals and objectives but as such generate complex models that are hard to understand and reduce their ease of use. One of widely used techniques...

Despite the widespread adoption of business process re-engineering (BPR), it has in many cases repeatedly failed to deliver its promised results. The lack of integrated implementation approach to exploiting BPR is seen as one of the important reasons amongst others, behind BPR failures. Yet, a relative void in the literature remains the scarcity of suitable models and frameworks that address th...

The fact that a company’s learning ability may prevent strategic drift and the fact that many companies are undertaking BPR projects leads us to ask whether all these BPR activities promote organizational learning. Within this framework we studied the extent to which BPR promotes organizational learning by focusing on the project group and the steering committee. This paper is based partly on a...

In order to simulate business process models, either an additional mapping schema is developed or the models are translated into other diagrams that can be used as a conceptual model of simulation. However, most existing methods require manual transformation, and they have made troublesome and time consuming when the business process models are complex. Thus, the application of such translation...

As Organisations need to adapt to new business conditions and respond to competitive pressures, various change management approaches have been developed. Many studies suggest that the success of business change projects could be increased by developing dynamic models of business processes prior to their radical change. This paper investigates a potential of simulation modelling to be used for m...

We test three practitioner theories-in-use of business process redesign derived from the business process reengineering (BPR) literature using a positivist case study of a U.S. company that undertook BPR. The evidence refutes the domi-

The degree of performance excellence that an enterprise can achieve greatly depends on the business process flow that the enterprise adopts, where the more efficient and effective the business process flow, the greater the degree of performance excellence the enterprise can achieve. Most conventional business process analyses focus on qualitative methodologies, but these lack solid measurement ...

Several authors and researchers have questioned the effectiveness of business process reengineering (BPR) as a holistic organizational approach especially after the demise of giant organizations all over the world. However, at a time of economic turbulence and uncertainty, BPR becomes instrumental in helping organizations reengineer existing processes and optimize them to better stay competitiv...

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 undertakin...
