Abstract

This paper provides an overview of published articles on Business Process Reengineering (BPR). Therefore it reports on an extensive literature review which identified BPR articles published in respected MIS outlets and/or written by three key proponents in the field. Besides manual examination of leading MIS journals and proceedings, the study incorporated a query in the ABI Inform Global reference database locating 552 items. The resulting 17 BPR articles are analyzed according to research approach and content. The analysis gives first insights into the development and state of BPR as a new research field. Based on this analysis we assess BPR and propose suggestions for further research.
