[vom Brocke Jan]

Dear colleagues and friends, 

if you plan to submit a manuscript to the BPM 2018 Management Track, please consider participation in the pre-submission shepherding program of the conference. Shepherded papers will be provided with advice by a selected PC member prior to official submission (e.g., regarding the positioning and presentation of the paper). You may request to be considered for the shepherding program if you are a first-time submitter to BPM. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the PC Chairs by February 1, 2018 (bpm2018 at easychair.org).

Further information about the BPM 2018 Management Track are attached below. In particular, please consider further developing your manuscripts for submission to an EJIS special issue on Business Process Management and Digital Innovation, which is organized in conjunction with the BPM 2018 Management Track (http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/jmj02771-tjis-si-business-process-management-and-digital-innovation).

ABOUT
This track gives management-related BPM research a home at the annual BPM conference, the premium forum for researchers and practitioners in business process management. The newly founded Management Track invites papers that aim at advancing our understanding of how BPM can deliver business value, for instance in  building organizational capabilities that improve, innovate or transform the respective business. Papers that study the application and/ or impact of BPM methods and tools in use contexts based on empirical observation are highly welcome. The track specifically invites contributions from information systems research as well as management and organizational sciences.

TOPICS
Areas of interest include a wide range of capability areas that are relevant for BPM, such as strategic alignment, governance, methods, information technology, and human aspects including people and culture. We seek contributions that advance our understanding on how organizations can develop such capabilities in order to achieve specific objectives in given organizational contexts. Papers may use various strategies of inquiry, including case study research, action research, focus group research, big data analytics research, neuroscience research, econometric research, literature review research, survey research or design science research. Papers will be evaluated according to management and information systems standards.

BPM CONFERENCE
The annual BPM conference is the premium forum for researchers and practitioners in business process management. BPM is a broad discipline, covering topics that range from formal methods in computer science to techniques in information systems engineering, to management science methods. Therefore, not only different research topics are addressed, but also different research methods are employed that require different evaluation criteria in the peer reviewing process.
