Call for Papers: BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPM)
[A Minitrack of Organizational Systems and Technology]

Submission date: June 15th 2011

BPM has emerged as an important field in systems science, and information systems in particular. With its roots in a number of well known approaches such as workflow management, business process reengineering, total quality management, BPM to date stands for an integrated management approach. As such BPM seeks to develop organizational capabilities facilitating excellence and innovation in business addressing a wide range of applications.

The latest research has elicited a wide range of capability areas relevant for BPM, in particular business-related areas, such as strategic alignment and governance as well as the human-related areas such as people and culture. Not limited to well-defined and structured processes, BPM can contribute to a number of contemporary challenges in traditional and creative business environments as well as in different types of organizations including commercial, Cooperatives, non-for-profit and virtual organizations.

The BPM Minitrack at HICSS aims to promote and further establish BPM as an integrated management discipline. While early academic research on BPM was skewed towards the technological and formal aspects of BPM, we particularly encourage papers that deal with the business challenges and opportunities of BPM over its entire life cycle from consideration and adoption to implementation, and on-going improvement at all levels (strategic, operational, tactical).

We invite rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods addressing topics such as those mentioned below. Selected papers will be recommended for fast track to prestigious BPM-related journals.

With 2012 being declared as the International Year of Cooperatives by the United Nations, this Minitrack aims to open a brand new research direction focusing on BPM-related issues in these important organisations, that up to now have been virtually unexplored by the international BPM community.
