Propelling Business Process Management by Research and Innovation Staff Exchange

RISE_BPM networks world-leading research institutions and corporate innovators to develop new horizons for Business Process Management (BPM). BPM is a boundary-spanning discipline focused on division and re-integration of day-to-day work in organisations and on analysis of process data for organisational decision-making. Recent break-through innovations in Social Computing, Smart Devices, Real-Time Computing, and Big Data Technology create a strong impetus for propelling BPM into a pervasive corporate topic that enables design of entirely new products and services.

The Networked Service Society

The Networked Service Society project is focused on thoroughly analyzing the interplay between service networks and IT. First, we develop new methods and strategies for the global organization of business processes in multinational settings. Second, we theorize on and shape the commercialization of Social Media for networked service enterprises and the public sector. The objective of our project is to strengthen the long-term research structures with our partner institutions in the Asian-Pacific region. In Joint Research, we perform high quality research and publish our results in leading peer-reviewed journals and present them on international conferences. In Joint Industry Projects, we perform research that ‘matters’, in close cooperate with industry partners and the public sector. Our objective is to establish long-term cooperation initiatives funded by these stakeholders. In Joint Education, we develop and implement joint education programs for increasing the mobility of our students and PhD students.
