From the Paper:

"For the past four decades technology has been growing at an astronomical pace and it has only been due to the very fact of continuous improvements and modifications in the existing styles and techniques. As technology molds itself to become better and better by the day so must the managerial support behind it improve to keep the pace. A term that could best describe such an escalating sequence of changes is known as re-engineering. This term has been synthesized by adding "re" in the beginning of "engineering" wherein engineering is defined as "manufacturing something valuable through the combination of various elements." Hence we develop the idea of re-combining or rearrangement. The element that must be rearranged is the method of carrying out the work; the process more appropriately, it is the business process."
