- Business Process Redesign list
- ------------------------------
- BUSINESS PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING/REDESIGN is a term which is now
- firmly established in the management vocabulary. It refers to
- attempts to achieve order of magnitude improvements in organisa-
- tional performance by redesigning the processes by which an
- organisation delivers value to its customers. The newly designed
- processes are often enabled by IS/IT. In many quoted cases, this
- has led to transformational changes in the way in which organisa-
- tions are structured. In particular, traditional functional
- structures, and the barriers between them, are being broken down
- in favour of multi-disciplinary teams responsible for complete
- processes.
-
- The name of the list is BPR and to join it send the following one
- line message to mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk:
- join BPR <your first name> <your last name>
-
- If you require any further information on the BPR discussion list,
- contact the list owner, Gerard Burke (a.g.burke@cranfield.ac.uk).

- A good summary of the problems involving productivity and IT is:
-
- Loveman, G.W. (1994). An assessment of the productivity impact of
- information technology. In Allen, T.J. & Scott Morton, M.S. (Eds.)
- Information Technology and the Corporation of the 1990's: Research
- Studies. Oxford Univeristy Press.
-
- His conclusion (of IT productivity between 1978-1983 in the USA--remember
- that there was a recession, and this was before PC's muddied the
- economic waters) can be VASTLY oversimplified as "there is simply not
- any evidence to date that the returns from IT have increased" (p. 104).
- He looked at both manufacturing and service industries and various forms
- of structure.
-
- The one study I remember reading that JUST looked at email productivity
- was an unpublished one from here in the Annenberg school and I'm having
- trouble tracking it down (again).

- Humans have been tuning up face-to-face communication over evolutionary
- time periods. It is unlikely that anyone's first guess on improving
- it is going to have much success. Unfortunately, the little research
- that has actually been done in this area has not been plugged into
- the current generation of group support systems. In fact, there has
- been virtually no research on whether the current generation of systems
- do in fact help groups make decisions.
-
- A number of comments:
- Yes, it is the case that traditional forms of interpersonal communicative
- media (eg non-verbal communication) have evolved over a great time period.
- Traditional human interactions are far from perfect, however, in the
- communication of a given message. Social psychological literature,
- specifically that concerning social representations (Rob Farr at the
- London School of Economics and Serge Moscovice in France), and the work of
- the social behaviorist George Herbert Mead is dedicated in large part to
- the communicative problems and breakdowns faced by everyone, everywhere.
- There is, therefore, at least a very real potential for traditional forms
- of interpersonal communication to be improved by electronic means.
-
- Furthermore, some research on interpersonal communication and the
- improvement of meetings has been done in the context of the current
- generation of GDSS. For example, the following academic papers have
- utilized a GSS/GDSS
- called Teamworker, which is commercially available.

-
- In 'On-line Group Process Support', the central question of whether GDSSs
- are conducive to decision-making is addressed. Real world evidence for
- the advantageous use of GSS/GDSS comes from commercial settings. For
- example, John Dent, ex-Senior Vice-President, SmithKline Beecham
- Pharmaceuticals commented on the use of Teamworker: "...I have greater
- confidence in the decisions taken".
