Business re-engineering (BR) is not only the hot topic of the industrial circles, but also the important area of the academic circles.

This study is conducted by questionnaire survey.

A total of 284 questionnaires were returned, and 278 were evaluated as valid. The valid questionnaires are 93%.

Published and printing departments emphasize on the “objective integration”. Management department emphasizes on “objective integration” and “information service”. Moreover, printing department emphasizes on “organizational execution” and “objective integration” much more than editing department.

The departments which are “aggressive-innovative culture” and “bureaucratic culture” emphasize “organizational execution”. The department which is “prudential-pressured culture” emphasizes “effects of leadership”.

It can establish the research records of newspaper industry much more complete. 2.The research broadens the subject to every department in corporation.
