The tactics and initiatives used to implement BPR in these three organizations differ in their approaches and need for change. Read the article and write a paper addressing the following points.
1. Compare and contrast the BPR initiatives of the three cases discussed in the paper touching upon their suitability in various scenarios.
2. Identify a situation in your workplace where you see a need for radical change in the business process.
3. Discuss the situation, the scope, and the depth of change required.
4. As a leader, what tactics and BPR initiatives would you use to implement the change (or changes if there are many)?
