BPR Paradoxes
Biggest potential for BPR in large organisations but these are least conducive to
innovations
Cross-functional scope resisted by functional managers & local interests
Simultaneous change of many organisational characteristics leads to confusion &
identity crisis
Employee participation can produce alienation as they understand impact of change
Downsizing a common objective but corporate reward schemes (incl. pay) are size
related
BPR encourages large scope projects but undermined by drive for short-term results
BPR assumes breaking rules but bureaucratic rules need to be applied to rulebreaking
Automation is catalyst for new process but often serves to cement old processes
