| | Business Process Improvement |
 | | Examples of business processes include the delivery of a product to a customer, the approval of a credit card application, and the production of an invoice and subsequent payment. | | | A business process is a collection of activities that creates an output that is of value to some customer. | | | Typically, BPI uses information technology to help change business process so that costs are reduced, service is improved, or cycle times are reduced. |

| | The Hocus-Pocus of Reengineering |
| | Unanimity is not what business process is all about: Differences are recorded, debated, and passed on to higher levels of management for resolution. | | | The first step-one that reengineering proponents generally skip-is gaining widespread support for change; after all, lasting improvements in business processes can be made only with the support of those who know the business. | | | A contemporary repackaging of tried-and-true industrial engineering methods, this cure now is being administered in large doses to business enterprises that to survive must instantly show improved profits. |
