The idea of business process reengineering comes from the obsoleteness of the business.

 

Two basic important ideas which play the chief roles are first: When the businessman is successful and naturally tapping in the resources and everything is going on well; why is there a need of any business process reengineering. 

Secondly a fear of unknown potential threat; especially when the entrepreneur are successful in their ventures and are going well. 

This happens usually when success is achieved by striving scrupulously for years to reach a particular level and start getting the feel of stability; than instead of strengthening, the entrepreneur is more focused on maintaining the solidarity and stability.  Expansion under these circumstances is matters of bygone nature.

Business process reengineering is also required in the present context because ‘A kind of manager which an Entrepreneur has to be needs an admixture of three essential qualities’: Enterprise manager, Expertise manager, and Process manager.  The enterprise manager is a man from the ranks- who have grown as an entrepreneur and has gained both breadth of experience and depth of speciality. And is able to connect both the mayor and the lamp with the company; Whether they are the directors, board of governors, employees or the customer’s.

Expertise manager however takes responsibility for directing both the people in the technology and the corporation that has gathered together to make its citizens the reality.

Process manager, however, acts as teachers and coaches the employees by helping them to give people direction and enabling them to contribute to the organizational process, rather than blocking the participation.

BPR is extremely important and necessary in the educational sector because the educationist’s in India have entered into this Profession: “thinking as a profitable proposition”. 

However, when it comes to the investment-output ratio, the amount of productivity or liquidity of capital compared to the initial investment as compared to other business investments is too low. 

Hence, with a smaller amount of growth in their respective educational ventures, they either feel contended or fear to tread ahead by expanding strings; THINKING that investment would not give them suitable results.  Looking to this contextual proposition mentioned above, most of the Indian educationists are unable to realize or tap the actual potential available in the market for educational growth and focus exclusively on the teaching- learning process of the educational industry.  

The teaching- learning process of educational industry is a very small and minor component which plays a very small role in the aggregate overall productivity of educational sector in the country. 

Business process reengineering can help these educationists who have consolidated rather than expanding, ‘giving them a larger domain and a broader spectrum of growth in the country’.

This can be done with two important way of  understanding the approach. 

The First important way is: where previously educationists were segregating the jobs into several different areas; these jobs can be combined into one and hence the most basic end for each of the engineered process is the absence of an assembly line. This further comprise of the responsibility given as assignment under various stages to one person who can act as a single point responsibility manager.

Second important reason for low productivity in educational sector is the inability or hindering or stopping the actual teacher to take participation in the decision-making; when the knowledge executives are not given an opportunity to participate in the decision-making, the decision becomes more administrative and less academic in nature.  Hence the benefits of administration accrue but the demerits and disadvantage of academic malpractices also predominantly exists. Hence, by giving the opportunity to them to participate helps the workers/employees  equip themselves to work on the larger plethora  of activities .
