Taking IBM as a case study, the Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) concept was examined and the critical success factors (CSFs) to its successful implementation were highlighted. An inductive approach and research philosophy of 'functional paradigm' was applied by analysing the findings of the pre and post BPR issues in IBM and creating a link between the theory of BPR and it's with a practical recommendation for future implementations. A model was created outlining the wider perspectives of BPR concept and the principles underpinning it and narrowing it down to the objective of this research using the funnelling approach of literature review and a new model was developed after the literature review incorporating the new findings from the literature review. Finally it was concluded that, BPR does not only reengineer processes but functions or core competencies and CSFs of implementing the initiative are egalitarian leadership, collaborative working environment, top management commitment, change in management technology appropriate BPR planning and methodology and use of information technology system. However for successful implementation, BPR must influence the content of the business strategy while the business strategy must support the BPR initiative. This is in addition to the fact that a BPR initiative should be driven by customer perception for optimal results.
