AMCIS 2013 Minitrack & BPMJ Special Issue: "New Frontiers in Business Process Management"
##################################################################################

Business processes management (BPM) is a management approach that has its roots in a range of practices, such as Kaizen, TQM, and BPR. It makes use of methods and tools dedicated to the identification, documentation, improvement, implementation, and execution of organizational processes. Although BPM has been a popular topic for decades, the field is still evolving. Current technological developments and environmental pressures extend the reach and richness of BPM beyond its traditional frontiers. Considering the reach of BPM, the growing importance of alliances and networks requires end-to-end business processes to be managed across multiple organizations. The roles of employees and customers also change, evolving to more active initiators and participants of process improvement endeavors. Organizations that previously refrained from adopting a systematic approach to manage their operations finally turn to BPM methods and technologies as well. Regarding the richness of BPM, new methods and tools are proposed that help organizations with the successful adoption of BPM. Current web-based technologies may increase the involvement of internal and external stakeholders and reduce organizational inertia. Improved analysis functionality like process mining can leverage organizational learning. This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on these current trends in BPM.

We invite contributions from disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover all current discussions on possible advancements to business process management. Boundary-spanning research that connects BPM with other than the named disciplines is also welcome.

Potential topics of interest are, but are not limited to:

Extending the reach of BPM
- BPM in new or previously less-covered domains (e.g., non-for-profit organizations, healthcare organizations and public administrations)
- Management of new or previously less-covered types of business processes (e.g., semi- or unstructured processes, knowledge- and information-intensive processes, creative processes)
- Inter-organizational BPM
- Green BPM
- Adoption and adaptation of BPM (X-aware BPM)

Extending the richness of BPM
- Positive process deviance and organizational learning
- Process mining
- Process repository management
- Process innovation management
- Real-time BPM
- Mobile computing and BPM
- Cloud computing and BPM
- Open-source BPM software
- Case management
- Web-based process modeling and process registries
- Collaboration and participation in BPM
- Social BPM
- Gamification in BPM

Submission Deadline: Fri, Feb 22, 2013
