Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reengineering involves determining what the company would be like if it could start from scratch. This means that the process does not consider present limitations or constraints but instead focuses on an ideal scenario for the company. It may involve a top-down approach but it can also involve input and participation from all levels of the organization. Continuous improvement is a related concept but it is not specific to reengineering. Suboptimization is not a goal of reengineering but rather a potential outcome.
