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.
