Managing the Dynamics of Business Processes
Recent claims emphasize that the traditional assumptions of BPM are increasingly challenged in the digital age. As new digital technologies emerge, new data streams become available and new customer needs take shape, organizations need to grapple with ever increasing dynamics in their business environments. The challenge for BPM is thus tied to a tension between stability and change. On the one hand, organizations need to ensure that their business processes are stable and reliable to some extent, and on the other hand, they need to consider and react to these dynamics to remain competitive.
There is emerging interest around the question of how organizations can manage their business processes as they embrace such dynamics. We are, however, only beginning to understand what this means for BPM in more general terms. Hence, the aim of this special issue is to provide space to various aspects related to managing the dynamics from a BPM point of view. To this end, we are interested in a variety of perspectives that cover technical as well as organizational and managerial aspects.
