Abstract
Business process re‐engineering (BPR) was first introduced in 1990 by Hammer and Davenport and Short. In these articles, the authors outlined a new approach to the management of processes which, it was claimed, was producing radical improvements in performance. These articles were quickly followed by a number of articles describing the benefits to be gained from BPR.
