Question

Isn't Bpr Just A Euphemism For Downsizing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Business Process Re-engineering was a term coined by Michael Hammer in a Harvard Business Review Article that aimed at redesigning business processes to make substantial improvements in areas of quality, productivity and cycle times.

In the name of improving business processes using information technology, more organizations are laying off people from jobs that is hardly acceptable. Therefore, BPR can be said to be a nice way for downsizing in companies.

Thanks for asking.
