Course Objectives: This course examines the design of an organization’s
structure and business processes, and discusses the
role of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in
managing technology and the engineering functions.
Students will be provided with the success and failure
factors of BPR through the case studies and will be
able to relate the course topics to real-world contexts.
The course is designed to teach students BPR
methodologies and the modeling technique that
accompanies the methodology

Learning Outputs

implementation of organizational change
IV. Identify the behavioral and political issues
surrounding the use of IT in organizational change
V. Identify business processes that are candidate for
improvement.
VI. Model current business processes and diagnose
problems
VII. Model and develop improved business processes
that require IT and organizational redesign
VIII. Develop measures and benchmarks for business
processes
