About this lesson
BPR is the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in cost, quality, service, and speed—it's a big-bang transformation, not incremental change. You'll explore real-world examples across production, product design, sales channels, and information systems, then work through exam-style questions to identify BPR correctly and distinguish it from related operational philosophies. This concept is essential for Performance Management and strategic papers, where you need to recommend appropriate improvement methodologies for different business scenarios.
