Abstract

The most recent advancement in modern business is known as business process re-engineering (BPR). It is a process of moving away from old means of doing things and toward one that is more innovative, which typically leads to improved organizational performance. The fact that educational institutions, particularly those in the public sector, have not yet completely embraced this new phenomenon served as the impetus for this study. Data were gathered through the use of a standardized questionnaire using a survey research strategy for the study. The research population consists of 455 academic staff members from Federal Polytechnic Ilaro in Ogun State. The sample size for the study was 213 respondents. Multiple Regression Analysis was used to test the hypotheses while Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to examine the data in SPSS. The study's conclusions showed that technological innovation significantly influences how simple it is to learn at federal tertiary institutions. The study's conclusions also showed that management commitment significantly affects competitive advantage. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the government of Nigeria should expediently implement Business Process Re-engineering across tertiary institutions in the country
