Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 1997 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1,5, College of Arts and Social Sciences-MSU, language: English, abstract: Business Reengineering is on the agenda of many companies in different industries. Striving to improve business processes to better meet customer requirements, Business Reengineering initiatives also aim at revolutionizing key performance criteria, such as cost, delivery, and quality. Recently however it is being discussed whether Business Reengineering in reality is just another “management fad”, not having lived up to high expectations. Trade magazines and managers talk about failing Business Reengineering projects, consequently turning some companies away from Business Reengineering, towards other management initiatives which promise better bottom-line results. What goes wrong with Business Reengineering? This practitioner’s report highlights that Business Reengineering is an important concept towards customer orientation, and concentrates on the obstacles to Business Reengineering project success. It defines hard and soft (people) barriers and traces these to their underlying causes. The available vast literature on change management is consulted to identify intervention methods and techniques which help to treat causes of people barriers. A framework is presented which helps to manage barriers during the course of a Business Reengineering project. The framework is applied to a real project the author oversaw as a change agent. It turns out that organizational cultural aspects play a pivotal role in project success. Reviewing the implications of barriers to Business Reengineering success, this report proposes to turn away from a control-oriented culture towards a collaboration culture, which not only yields less resistance to change but also helps to focus all members of an organization towards its future. A short discussion of the instruments search conference and participative design concludes this report.
Download or read book BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING written by R. RADHAKRISHNAN and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2008-06-16 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explores the fundamental principles of Business Process Reengineering (BPR). The express aim of the book is to address the needs of MBA students opting for courses in ‘Information Technology Management or ‘Operations Management’, MCA students who opt for Business Processes as an elective, and students of BE/B.Tech Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering for courses in Process Engineering/Automation/Management System Design. The book provides them with the concepts, methodologies, models and tools needed to understand and implement BPR. In a nutshell, the book offers a step-by-step presentation of the practical framework and management techniques needed to achieve engineering solutions for implementation of BPR in an organization. The initial chapters introduce the reader to the need for BPR and its utility in relation to IT and manufacturing. The middle chapters cover the methodology, success factors, barriers, and the technologies that are relevant for BPR implementation. The latter chapters present solutions like lean and virtual manufacturing, enterprise resource planning, and functional information systems. An exclusive chapter is devoted to concepts and tasks of software reengineering. Aided by extensive illustrations, end-of-chapter review questions, as well as a chapter consisting entirely of case studies, this book will help students develop a rich, multifaceted perspective, to enable them to handle complex management and engineering problems. The book will be useful to students in practically all branches of engineering, not just mechanical/production/industrial engineering.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This thesis handles a topic which is of high importance for all companies doing business internationally . But nevertheless there are still less companies who make this a subject of everydaylife. What I am talking about is culture, cultural differences and cross cultural management. What makes it so difficult for people of different cultures to communicate, to work together, to live side by side in harmony without misunderstanding ? It is our culture and the difference between our cultures often mentioned not at all. But at the latest if there appear problems you will recognize the differences in understanding, thinking, behavior, ... This thesis should make a small contribution to get a better understanding that culture is something we must accept and that we can not neglect if we are doing business internationally. There is a short overview with demographical and economical data of the last thirty years of both countries. It continues with the main topic - the cultural dimension (theoretical background followed by some models of identifying different cultures, the cultural profiles of both countries, the Singaporean culture and its characteristics, behavior and problems as expatriate in Singapore, do's and don'ts. After this I explain the theory on a concrete example : a Business Reengeneering project realized in both countreis (Singapore and Austria) on which I have collaborated for altogether eleven months. At last I answer the question how culture influences the business culture, the implementation of Business Process Reengineering and the Management of Change. With a critical outlook concerning this topic I want to round off the thesis. Kurze Inhaltsbeschreibung : In der Arbeit wurden von mir Vorgangsweisen, Erfolgsfaktoren und Ergebnisse von Reenginering Prozessen vor dem Hintergrund zweier unterschiedlicher gesellschaftlicher Kulturen beschrieben und problematisiert. Bei den beiden Vergleichskulturen handelt es sich um die von Österreich und Singapur. Die Reengineering Projekte fanden dabei im gleichen global agierenden Unternehmen statt. Die empirische Arbeitsbasis war durch zwei Praktika innerhalb dieser Firma gegeben. Die Arbeit teilt sich sowohl in einen rein theoretischen Teil und eine praktischen Teil. Es wird erklärt worauf bei internationalen, interkulturellen Arbeiten und Projekten geachtet werden, wie sich Kultur auf Business Reengineering auswirkt und worauf ich in meinem Projekt achten musste.
