<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">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.
