Business Process Reengineering Evolution and Business Model Integration Using a Systematic Review

This study systematically examines the evolution of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) research and its integration with business model innovation from 2015 to 2025. It aims to analyze how BPR supports organizational transformation, strengthens digital capabilities, and creates value through business model operationalization. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted on 197 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus using the keywords “business process reengineering”, “business process”, “reengineering” and “business model”. The review followed the PRISMA framework, while Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were employed for bibliometric analysis and visualization. The findings reveal four stages in the evolution of BPR research. The first stage (2015–2017) emphasized information technology integration and project management to improve process efficiency. The second stage (2018–2020) focused on technology-driven applications, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and supply chain optimization. The third stage (2021–2022) highlighted blockchain, digital twins, and sector-specific innovations in public services and banking. The latest stage (2023–2025) is characterized by AI and machine learning-enabled BPR, supporting intelligent process redesign and customer-centric transformation within the Industry 4.0 context. This study contributes by systematically linking BPR evolution with business model operationalization frameworks, including SDBMOM, ARPM, and the Compass Method, demonstrating how process transformation drives strategic value creation. The findings also show BPR’s contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8, 9, and 12 through enhanced productivity, innovation, and sustainable production. Future research should examine long-term organizational impacts and cross-sector implementation of AI-enabled BPR.
