Abstract

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) or simply reengineering is an initiative undertaken by organisations that seek to fundamentally redesign their existing business processes. In the current business landscape, the only constant is change; hence organisations should always strive to conduct their businesses effectively and efficiently. However reengineering has not always yielded fruitful results, as indicated by the 70% of the initiatives that have failed. The failure rate of the reengineered initiatives partly results from neglecting the "human element" involved when revising processes. Literature has not dealt extensively with how stakeholders react towards dramatic change brought about by reengineering, and the current paper is primarily concerned with this issue, through the proposal of the Business Process Reengineering Management (BPRM) concept.
