Modelling critical success factors of business process reengineering and business performance of Nigerian oil and gas companies

Policy and Non-Policy Factors: What Determines Foreign Direct Investments in Africa?

“…In addition, the three theories are positioned as a strategy tripod, in an interactive position towards improved inflow of FDI to African economies. TCA seeks to identify the environmental factors that together with a set of related human factors explain how companies can organize transactions to reduce the costs associated with these transactions (Asika and Awolusi, 2013;Awolusi, 2013a;Correa & Kumar, 2003;Peng, 2009), Consequently, the focus of this study is on the premise that FDI decisions are influenced by a country's ability to reduce high transactional costsusually in the form of opaque regulatory behavior, corruption, and resource-poor and inefficient financial and judicial systems (Asheghian, 2004). The study also argues that improved levels of political-economic freedom, as an important institutional change, will facilitate lower costs and higher FDI inflows to African economies (Asiedu, 2004).…”

Business Process Re-Engineering and Profitability in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry: The Mediating Influence of Operational Performance

“…In addition, establishing the relationship between major BPR imperatives and business performance as a way of forestalling BPR project failure becomes important, thus investigating the CSFs of BPR and profitability could be a step in the right direction (Ringim et al, 2011). Moreover, measuring CSFs of BPR scientifically is imperative, because, what can be measured gets done well, with the possibility of repeated fed back and rewards (Fields & Atiku, 2015;Mustapha, Fakokunde and Awolusi, 2014;Asika and Awolusi, 2013). Khong and Richardson (2003) also believe that a deeper appreciation and understanding of CSFs of BPR through scientific inquiry is desirable.…”

“…The study shows the need for a conceptual model to measure the success of BPR efforts in the oil and gas industry. Consequently, the main objective of this study was to operationalize a BPR model, based on a conceptual framework developed by Awolusi (2013), and to test the contrived model, by examining specific relationships between the CSFs of BPR and profitability in the Nigerian oil and gas industry. Moreover, the study also investigated the mediating influence of operational performance on profitability of companies operating in the oil and gas industry.…”

“…Moreover, the study also investigated the mediating influence of operational performance on profitability of companies operating in the oil and gas industry. This study was motivated by the submission of Awolusi (2013) and Khong and Richardson (2003) that, despite some research attempts, a model to test the success of BPR implementation in the oil and gas industry has not been fully established. The second section of this study discussed the conceptual framework developed by Awolusi (2013).…”

“…This study was motivated by the submission of Awolusi (2013) and Khong and Richardson (2003) that, despite some research attempts, a model to test the success of BPR implementation in the oil and gas industry has not been fully established. The second section of this study discussed the conceptual framework developed by Awolusi (2013). The fourth section analyses the results and discussions, by focusing on the operationalizing and testing of the conceptual framework in an attempt to recommend an improved model to measure BPR implementation success in the oil and gas industry.…”
