With today's highly competitive and rapidly changing world economic marketplace, firms must adopt business process reengineering to sustain their competitive advantages and increase profitability. BPR is one of the most popular ongoing change management theories as a solution for firms to improve their performance significantly, upraise their efficiencies, and gain a competitive advantage in this constantly developing and changing world. BPR usually leads to essential organizational changes in terms of structure and management processes. This paper aims to explore the change management process through BPR implementation in Radiant Optoelectronics Company. At the same time, focusing on six interventions, including Open systems planning, Trans-organizational development (TD), Business process reengineering (BPR), Business Restructuring, Work Redesign, and Socio-technical Systems Approach (STS). Each intervention is accompanied by its definitions, advantages and disadvantages, and comparison and contrast with other interventions. These interventions differ from each other primarily in terms of IT innovation, communication environment, and application in product design and performance. This report recommends BPR as the best intervention for Radiant Company to accomplish its goals because it emphasizes cost reduction, product and service quality, and organizational system speed. Besides, there is evidence that companies that implement BPR enjoy significant benefits in improved customer satisfaction, productivity, and profitability. However, this study suggests that the company must be keen on this strategy since it is time-consuming and may harm people's jobs if proper plans are not done before implementation. Other issues that the company might experience due to poor planning include lack of sustained management commitment and leadership, unrealistic scope and expectations, resistance to change, and higher demands.

Companies new to the e-HRM technologies are overwhelmed by the dilemma of choosing either the ready-made, off-the-shelf e-HRM systems, or develop their own e-HRM systems in house in order to implement the e-HR transformation. Therefore, this research was done to shed some light on the differences and similarities between off-the-shelf e-HRM systems and in-house developed ones, with regards to some elements developed in a preliminary framework, such as the implementation and development approaches, e-HRM activities they facilitated, application types and characteristics, and e-HRM outcome and benefits. This comparison provided insightful information that could help companies make the most effective choice between the two systems. It was found through this research that factors such as continuous user involvement, effective communication, and strong change management are most considered by companies that develop e-HRM in house, while advocates of off-the-shelf e-HRM systems are most affected by success factors such as business process reengineering, planning and vision, and project management. Another finding was that increasing efficiency, providing customer-oriented service excellence, and improving self services were top goals accomplished by companies developing their e-HRM system in house. These findings, beside many other ones discovered in this research, would help companies decide which system best fits their needs and accomplish high levels of effectiveness gained from the transformation of their HR function to e-HR.

There is a lack of broad participation in most idea generating programs in American organizations. In this paper, we consider ways to increase the participation rate in generating ideas across organizations. These approaches include measuring innovation rates and reporting them, encouraging continuous improvement in idea generation, raising participation in programs such as Business Process Reengineering and Quality Circles, and training in creativity that includes team efforts at ideation. We also consider the importance of encouragement in helping employees to take the risks necessary to generate ideas.
