1st CALL FOR PAPERS
21st European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013) June 5-8, 2013, at Utrecht University
Track 03: Business Process Management
Deadline for paper submissions is December 7, 2012.
DESCRIPTION
Business Process Management (BPM) is comprised of concepts, methods, and tools dedicated to the identification, capture, improvement, implementation, and execution of organizational processes. BPM draws from and interacts with established concepts such as Total Quality Management, Business Process Reengineering, and Six Sigma. Moreover, BPM is supported by technologies such as workflow automation and service-oriented computing. Business Process Automation promises significant efficiency gains through standardized process flows, automated resource allocation, and application integration in the process context.
BPM is in high demand due to the ongoing pressure to improve operational efficiencies, opportunities related to process outsourcing/off-shoring, and compliance requirements that mandate standardized processes. Industry analysts such as the Gartner Group have identified BPM as a top priority of CIOs for the last eight years.
The technical questions of modeling, simulating, and executing processes have been studied extensively in the past, but little work has been published about the adoption, use, and organizational consequences of BPM since the first wave of papers on Business Process Reengineering in the early 1990s. This is notable because the technology underlying BPM has matured significantly since then, and the organizational uptake of BPM technology is widespread.
This track encourages the wider adoption of Information Systems research in the domain of BPM beyond methodological and technical questions. In particular, we are interested in papers that contribute BPM-related theories and empirical evidence. Overall, the track explicitly encourages research using a wide variety of methodologies covering quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research approaches such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science research.
