CALL FOR PAPERS

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Forum to be held in conjunction with 
the International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2024)

1-6 September 2024, Krakow, Poland

DESCRIPTION

BPM methods and approaches applied in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) 
countries can face numerous specific challenges due to cultural, 
political, regional, or organizational differences and the various 
nature of the business processes. These differences might stem from the 
challenges posed by the business environment, IT-related specifications, 
IT legacy, country-specific legislature and regulations, and the 
differing levels of digital literacy. Although organizations from CEE 
countries apply the same BPM methods, technologies, and approaches as 
non-CEE countries, while responding to the specific challenges, they 
create alternative experiences that might be valuable for better 
understanding BPM in various contexts and regional conditions.
Due to this specific environment and context, BPM research conducted in 
CEE countries has the potential to further develop the theory and 
practice of BPM and allow testing of existing BPM methods and techniques 
against the mentioned specifics of CEE countries. This is crucial not 
only for general BPM research but also for providing better alignment of 
the BPM methods with the CEE specifications. A better understanding of 
BPM in the CEE region would enable practitioners to avoid the issues 
faced in these countries in the process of BPM adoption and be a 
valuable contribution to the general BPM field.
The main objective of this CEE Forum is to provide a discussion and 
dissemination platform for researchers and practitioners conducting BPM 
research relevant to CEE countries. Therefore, the CEE Forum invites 
practitioners applying BPM methods and researchers conducting BPM 
research in CEE to submit their work to ignite discussions and 
collaborations to advance BPM theories and practices focused on issues 
important to CEE countries.

The CEE Forum is open to all methodological approaches and 
contributions. Topics of interest related to BPM in the specific context 
of CEE include, but are not limited to:

·national or organizational culture context;
·comparison between CEE and non-CEE context;
·comparison between private and public sectors;
·process changes due to digital transformation or digital innovation;
·customization of methods, tools, or software;
·business value;
·measurement of process maturity;
·challenges, barriers, enablers, or critical success factors of 
implementation, adoption, or use;
·case studies on adoption and consequences;
·teaching experiences in HEI.
