The changing business environment requires that firms reengineer their fundamental processes in order to retain their competitive advantage. Most Business Proess Reengineering (BPR) projects, however, have failed partly because the essential enabler, ie. information technology, was unable to perpetuate the original vision. The information systems were unable to support the collaboration among the workers participating in the process. Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) have the potential to enhance not only individual performance as did traditional information systems, but also the group performance essential to the success of BPR by providing an effective means of communications through connectivity. It also enhances productivitiy through proceduralization of the fundamental processes, thus making it possible to empower the employee even while it controls the flow, and ultimately the delaly that originally made the BPR effort necessary. Therefore, though it is not a panacea, WfMS's can improve chances for the success of BPR projects. Managers who have realized this are faced with another obstacle - that of selecting the WfMS that best meets the particular organization's needs. This paper provids an evaluation structure of WfMS functions with emphasis on those functions that are essential for BPR, classifying the functions into an attribute hierarchy according to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. It also suggests specific evaluation criteria for the main workflow functions provided by most vendors today, thus providing managers with a comprehensive guideline to facilitate the decision process.

This study aims to demonstrate the impact of BPR in reducing cost in international business organizations by analyzing the impact of decentralization, re-engineering organizational structures, re-engineering human resources, industrial process technology, improving total quality standards, and value engineering. The study population includes all the international business organizations operating in the Middle East, with the condition that they operate in at least four countries. The results showed that there is a significant effect of all dimensions of BPR in reducing costs in international business organizations operating in the Middle East. When studying the impact of the dimensions combined, the moral effect appeared at each processes (decentralization, re-engineering of human resources and industrial process technology), while the moral effect did not appear in (rebuilding organizational structures, improving total quality standards, and value engineering). This does not negate the importance of the impact of these dimensions, but rather shows a disparity between dimensions in reducing cost, when studying its combined effect. The study recommends that organizations should adopt modern management accounting methods, including value engineering, in order to identify and enhance activities that add value to the organization's operations, as well as identify and eliminate non-value adding activities, in order to reduce costs.

Business operates under the fast pace of large-scale changes. These changes occur in environments including competitors, markets and consumers. To survive under these changes, process innovation is becoming the eminent issue faced by executives. Process innovation is to generate, select, and implement new ideas adopting changes in organizational structure, management pattern, human resource management systems and so on. Examples include restructuring, outsourcing, benchmarking, total quality management, and business process reengineering. This study suggests how to develop process innovation ideas. Related screening and implementation techniques are also presented.

Recently business reengineering is the most attractive management reforming skill. Many of the Korean firms are paying attention to business reengineering and many of them have initiated it. The major purposes of this study are; (1) to investigate the relationship between each variable and success or failure of business reengineering, and (2) to examine interaction effects of measurement and performation variables. Two hundred eighteen questionaires were used for analysis. In order to throughout studies that I executed earlier. To look for dependence of critical success factors on analysis was performed to examine patterns between measurement and performance variables. In conclusion, the hypothesized relationships in the research model are supported by the empirical findings of this study. Additionally it is possible to establish theoretical reference system on the basis of critical success factors.

This paper presents the core technology of Construction Business Process Automation to model and automate construction business processes. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and Automation (BPA) have been recognized as one of the important aspects in construction business management. However, BPR requires a lot of efforts to identify, document, implement, execute, maintain, and keep track thousands of business processes to deliver a project. Moreover, existing BPA technologies used in existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems do not lend themselves to effective scalability for construction business process management. Application of Workflow and Object Technologies would be quite effective in implementing a scalable enterprise application for construction business processes by addressing how: 1) Automated construction management tasks are developed as software components, 2) The process modeling is facilitated by dragging-and dropping task components in a network, 3) Raising business requests and instantiating corresponding process instances are delivered, and 4) Business process instances are executed by using workflow technology based on real-time simulation engine. This paper presents how the construction business process automation is achieved by using equipment reservation and cancellation processes simplified intentionally.

This paper presents a methodology to determine safe persistence of objects from C code during reengineering process. The methodology consists of five steps: the static information methodology, reflection, instantiation, and the refinement. The steps assist to a reengineer to decide appropriate construction and destruction points of an object during its life cycle. Further the steps guarantee safe and consistent interactions among objects.

Due to the rapidly changing global business environment and global management environment, companies must actively act for competitiveness. By examining the development process of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), there is a chance to optimize the organization and find measures to improve the company competitiveness. It seems examining task process, and studying the influence of ERP introduction to management performance by considering whether the excessive maintenance cost or repetitive investment toward ERP is quiet significant. The companies which instituted ERP uses "business process model" provided by "Best Practice" compare own task to choose much efficient method. This allows simultaneous realization of ERP institution and Business Reengineering (BR).

U-City is the key element of the future knowledge-based society where every citizen will be benefited from the most advanced information technology. The following research reengineers the old process to define the rational and efficient process of the U-City construction project(BPR: Business Process Reengineering). In order to achieve the goal, identify and diagnose problem points, outline the improved plan, and readjust the managing system and process to propose better process. And Lastly, redefine the best efficient process by simple modeling using the UML(Unified Modeling Language). The goal of the systematic proposal is to make contributions to a base of the green growth to be the development of the Sustainable U-City.

In the 21st century, administration is changing rapidly. The process of reconstruction based on ubiquitous environment in the enhanced information society reflects the paradigm shift to the information and knowledge society. Attempts to improve administrative services are also continuing through restructuring of administrative organization and organization reengineering in public sector. Thus, this study reviews the process of development in the e-government and tries a preliminary approach for diagnosis and performance measurement. It is needed to examine in order to maintain continuity of the future e-government. Henceforth, clear and diverse performance management and evaluation on the e-government should be made.
