+++ TRACK DESCRIPTION +++

 

During the last twenty years or so, organizations have strived to become
more process-oriented and also more co-creative when delivering value in
terms of services and products to their customers. A fundamental principle
of both process orientation and value co-creation is to span boundaries
within and across organizations. For boundary spanning, organizations,
employees and customers (or people in general) rely on information systems
as well as related techniques, models and methods. 

 

In today's world, boundaries are becoming increasingly dynamic. On the one
hand, inter- and intra-organizational boundaries blur as people engage with
each other in social media or other virtual communities. Organizations
utilize web-based platforms with externals, e.g., in order to gather ideas
for innovations from their customers and to streamline operations with
business partners. Looking at the internal of the organization, employees
are expected to participate actively in business process management (e.g.,
in terms of Social BPM), knowledge management and organizational learning in
order to create customer value and, of course, increased corporate revenue.
On the other hand, new boundaries can also emerge through the use of
information systems in the process of creating customer value. Reasons for
this are manifold, including digital connections that do not work
instantaneously due to incompatible information systems, work practices that
are not synchronized, and diverging organizational cultures.

 

This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on the
intersections between business process management, knowledge management and
organizational learning, taking a boundary spanning perspective. We invite
contributions from various disciplines including information systems,
information management, organization, science, computer science and
management science. Interdisciplinary research that connects the
aforementioned areas is also welcome. We encourage papers applying a wide
variety of methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative, empirical
and theoretical research such as case studies, action research, surveys,
experiments, and design science.
