Opis

This book shows how business process management (BPM), as a management discipline at the intersection of IT and Business, can help organizations to master digital innovations and transformations. At the same time, it discusses how BPM needs to be further developed to successfully act as a driver for innovation in a digital world.

In recent decades, BPM has proven extremely successful in managing both continuous and radical improvements in many sectors and business areas. While the digital age brings tremendous new opportunities, it also brings the specific challenge of correctly positioning and scoping BPM in organizations.

This book shows how to leverage BPM to drive business innovation in the digital age. It brings together the views of the world s leading experts on BPM and also presents a number of practical cases. It addresses mangers as well as academics who share an interest in digital innovation and business process management.

The book covers topics such as BPM and big data, BPM and the Internet of Things, and BPM and social media. While these technological and methodological aspects are key to BPM, process experts are also aware that further non-technical organizational capabilities are required for successful innovation.

This book provides comprehensive insights into the innovative power of BPM. It brings together the views of thought leaders around the globe. Both latest research findings and case studies on real-life business organizations show how to keep pace with the ongoing developments in todays digital world."
