Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 92 === The concept of business process reengineering, advocated by Michael Hammer in the 1990s, coupled with the innovation of information technology and the globalization, many of the well-known enterprises started to leverage organizational transformation to improve their performance. However, there have not been many successful examples but a lot of failure.
I also found that there hasn’t been much analytical framework or model to explain the differences and the interrelations before and after the transformation. What are some of the major obstacles that keep businesses from engaging in the transformation? What kind of changing processes can result in such dramatic performance improvement? What perspective should we adopt to examine the issues related to business transformation? This thesis aims to examine value creation, organizational transformation, business process reengineering through the role of strategic fit. It also intends to adopt the organizational change framework as a basis to analyze four companies in Taiwan that have gone through such business transformation. I wish to build a clearer and understandable relation and connectivity among relevant factors for business transformation through this thesis.
The purpose of this thesis is to explore why, what, and how business transformation occurs from the viewpoint of value creation and organizational change. I use value creation, organization theory, business transformation, business process reengineering, and strategic fit to elucidate the theory and framework, hoping to clarify relevant changes and impacts. Through the analysis and clarification, I further aim to be able to provide guiding principles on organizational transformation framework both in theory and in practice.
