    There is no widespread definition of the term, however everyone seems

    range of topics such as job design, technology infrastructure, change
    management, workflow management, administrative logistics, corporate
    re-engineering, and others. The field is rapidly growing. However,
    getting information about the latest developments seems to be as
    hard a job as understanding the phenomenon. BPR-L has been set up
    to overcome this problem.
