For you as an IT manager, changes in business models and fast-paced innovation and product lifecycles pose a big challenge: you are required to anticipate the impact of future changes, and to make rapid decisions backed up by solid facts. To be successful you need an overall perspective of how business and IT interact. What you need is a toolkit, enabling you to manage the enterprise from a helicopter viewpoint while at the same time accommodating quite detailed aspects of processes, organization, and software lifecycles. Strategic IT management embraces all the processes required to analyze and document an enterprise’s IT landscape. Based on the experience of many projects and long discussions with both customers and academic researchers, Inge Hanschke provides you with a comprehensive and practical toolkit for the strategic management of your IT landscape. She takes a holistic view on the management process and gives guidelines on how to establish, roll out, and maintain an enterprise IT landscape effectively. She shows you how to do it right first time – because often enough there’s no second chance. She tells you how to tidy up a IT patchworks – the first step towards strategic management – and she gives you advice on how to implement changes and maintain the landscape over time. The book’s structure reflects the patterns that exist in strategic IT management from strategic planning to actual implementation. The presentation uses many checklists, guidelines, and illustrations, which will help you to immediately apply the content. So, if you are a CIO, an IT manager, a business manager, or an IT consultant, this is the book from which you’ll benefit in most daily work situations.

This textbook bridges the gap between business management and organisational methods and their digital implementation, because process management increasingly means designing operational tasks. In addition to methodological basics, the work offers many practical examples and exercises. Prof. Gadatsch's book is now considered the "current classic", THE authoritative standard work on IT-supported design of business processes. The tenth edition has been revised and adapted to the requirements of the digital transformation. Process management has evolved greatly due to the trend of digitalisation and as a result of the pandemic. Another related trend is the increased use of Data Science methods for process management, which has been consequently named "Process Science" at scientific conferences. Recent research results published under the heading of "Explorative Process Management" are also of particular importance. They show that the first main phase of process management was rather focused on optimising existing processes and business models. New practical examples were included at various points in the book, for example the migration strategies for the ERP system "SAP S/4 HANA", which is the basis for many industrial and service processes. The chapter on modelling processes was updated and newer methods such as Business Model Canvas were included.

This Festschrift was published in honor of Egon Börger on the occasion of his 75th birthday. It acknowledges Prof. Börger's inspiration as a scientist, author, mentor, and community organizer. Dedicated to a pioneer in the fields of logic and computer science, Egon Börger's research interests are unusual in scope, from programming languages to hardware architectures, software architectures, control systems, workflow and interaction patterns, business processes, web applications, and concurrent systems. The 18 invited contributions in this volume are by leading researchers in the areas of software engineering, programming languages, business information systems, and computer science logic.

Process management affects the functioning of every organization and consequently affects each of us. This book focuses on the multi-disciplinary nature of process management by explaining its theoretical foundations in relation to other areas such as process analysis, knowledge management, and simulation. A crucial linkage between theory and concrete methodology of Tabular Application Development (TAD) is presented as a practical approach consisting of five phases that deal with process identification and modeling, process improvement, development of a process management system and finally - monitoring and maintenance. This book is important for researchers and students of business and management information systems, especially those dealing with courses on process management or related fields. Managers and professionals in process management will also find this book to be useful for their everyday business.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 2,0, Georg-Simon-Ohm-Hochschule Nürnberg (Fachbereich Betriebswirtschaft ), Veranstaltung: Prozessmanagement, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem umfangreichen Themengebiet Workflow, Workload und Work Control im Rahmen des Prozessmanagements und umreißt notwendigerweise ebenso die damit eng zusammenhängende Problematik der Workflow Management Systeme. Das Umfeld eines Unternehmens ist heutzutage permanenten und immer schneller werdenden Änderungen unterworfen. Jahrelanges verharren bei festgelegten Strukturen wird schlicht zur Einbuße an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit führen. Das Kredo des Prozessmanagements ist die stetige Evolution der Organisation und strebt als solches eine kontinuierliche Optimierung von Organisationsstrukturen an. Workflow Management Systeme werden als wichtiges Werkzeug angesehen, um auch im informationsverarbeitenden Bereich wichtige Produktivitätsfortschritte zu erzielen. Der Einsatz von Workflow Systemen schafft die notwendige Transparenz in Prozessabläufen, um auch kleine Schwachstellen aufzudecken und die Ansatzpunkte für geeignete Verbesserungsmaßnahmen identifizieren zu können.
