Research Challenge 1

Networks of Business Processes

How can Networks of Business Processes be Supported? – Current BPM Approaches Focus on Single Business Processes – Industrial Standards suggest to Focus on Business Process Networks and – Interactions [iso00c] – Knowledge Flows represent a Type of such Interactions [Str03] – Improvement of Knowledge Intensive Business Processes stronger relates to an Improvement of Knowledge Flows rather than Workflows [RL00]

So, What are Knowledge Processes?

Process/Role

Simple Definition: The flow of information Precise Definition: Knowledge processes describe distributed,

  • rganizational knowledge work. Thereby, knowledge processes typically

include descriptions of [Str03b]: knowledge flows, specific knowledge activities, involved persons or roles and associated business processes regarding a certain knowledge domain.
