[Editorial] Business Process Re-Engineering: A Design Perspective

چکیده
Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) is considered by many to have ‘had its day’ with scholars such as Hansen (Foster, 1994) stating that BPR is a misnomenor, and goes onto conclude that re-engineering does not exist because business systems were never engineered in the first place, they simply developed. Yet, others such as Hales and Savoie, (1994) and Irani et al., (1997) argue that BPR is a fascinating concept that has the potential to ‘save’ a ‘failing’ company, and lead it onto survival and growth, with Farmer (1993) and DeBuyn and Gelders (1997) reporting empirical evidence to substantiate the ‘value’ of BPR.
