As the business process management methodology became introduced in 2000, many companies until now have introduced the business process management and the companies who stuck with their previously used management techniques are sooner or later going to adopt the BPM in the future. However, after the business process management was introduced in 2000, there have been conducted only the case studies about the companies who adopted BPM system and the studies based on the technical aspect of IT technology. There are few studies done on the aspect of business administration and management. Especially, few studies have examined the effects of introducing the BPM system and the factors that are related to those effects.
The purpose of this study is to show the effective factors for introducing BPM system and how these effective factors affected the corporate results through demonstrative analysis, in an endeavor to provide help to the corporations who have already established BPM system or are planning to introduce it. Also, by additionally verifying how the effective factors of BPM system affect the individual performance of the workers within a company and its product quality, this study aims to provide a basis for the studies about BPM system.
For demonstrative studies, the companies listed in the previous studies and literatures related to BPM system and the companies introduced about their BPM system through newspapers, broadcasters and the Internet were selected. Among them, 18 companies who introduced BPM system were surveyed, and the surveys were collected from 12 companies. Among the 300 surveys distributed, 82 surveys were collected (collection rate: 27%), among them 6 surveys, either not responsive or inappropriate, were removed and total 76 surveys were put to analysis.
The statistical processing of the collected data was carried out using SPSS 12.0 for windows package, and the major analytical methods were factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used.
As a result of analysis, the effective factors of BPM system were shown to be relatively significant on the individual and corporate performance, but among the effective factors of introduction, the effect of minimizing the IT gap did not have any significant influence. Also, there was no significant effect in the aspect of product quality. This result is due to the fact that the end-users lacked the understanding of IT and the unstable establishment of BPM system. These problems will be solved, from a long-term investor’s point of view, by the stable integration of BPM system that will occur eventually.
This study examined the impacts of the effective factors of the companies who have introduced BPM system on the corporate outcomes and suggest their relationship to the factors in product quality and variables in individual performance. By doing so, this study gains its significance in that it contributes to making people realize the effective factors and the variables in the introduction of BPM system in order to improve the corporate performance and achieve it more efficiently.
