Abstract:

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a discipline in which extensive research has been carried out and numerous methodologies are emerging. But studies of BPR projects have reported very large failure rates. So what seems to happen is the orientation of many firms to the business process management solutions to insure the fixed objectives of competitiveness and concurrency. In this paper we give answers to some important questions principally about: what do business process management projects bring additional to business process reengineering ones, what are the relationships, the similarities and the differences between the two disciplines.
