Research on the trend and potential impact of adopting BPM techniques over general performance of the organization

In the recent years, Business Process Management (BPM) is increasingly becoming a “way of life” or even a “daily routine” for more and more companies interested in optimizing processes, regardless their field of activity. General statistics show plenty of positive results for organizations that succeed to properly implement BPM techniques and principles. The paper includes the continuation of a research in the field of BPM, started by a well known global consulting company and conducted in some major foreign countries from different continents. The study was adapted and applied on several Romanian small and medium sized enterprises, with the aim of comparing and evaluating the current situation, trend and potential impact of adopting BPM techniques.
