Organizational change – be it moderate or radical – is a must for a better future. Situations such as increasing demands of government regulations, growth, competition, technological developments and changing workforce cause organizations to change. Perbadanan Kemajuan Pertanian Negeri Pahang is one of the biggest organizations in Pahang Darul Makmur. Operating for more than 49 years and has more than 116 staff in the organization, the main headquarters need to deliver the right business process not only to external but internal customers as well. Due to the political and economic change recently, it is important for the organization to stay competitive for the future. The present study aims to examine the Business Process Re-engineering (henceforth BPR) warning signs in the process, technology, and organizational structure as well as company performance. A total of 56 responses collected from the respondents were analyzed, and the findings indicated that all the warning signs do not affect the company’s performance. The implications of the study are further discussed in the paper.
