THANK YOU!! Entrepreneurship Management Business Process Reengineering (BPR) Definition by M Hammer. BPR is defined as the critical analysis or fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of existing business processes to achieve breakthrough or dramatic improvements in performance measures such as cost, quality, service and speed. BPR has often been confused with the quality movement. Quality specialists tend to focus on incremental change and gradual improvement of processes, while proponents of
reengineering seek radical redesign and drastic improvement of processes. Entrepreneurship Management It is based on four key words: 1. Fundamental Why do we do what we do? And Why do we do it the way we do? Why the old rules and assumptions exist? 2. Radical Disregard all existing structures and procedures, and inventing completely new ways of accomplishing work. 3. Dramatic Not about making marginal improvements.
