Abstract

This book provides valuable insights and guidance for firms looking to improve their operations in the face of disruption and uncertainty. It contributes to the body of knowledge in logistics and supply chain disciplines which will be useful to both industry practitioners and academics. With this, the book first emphasizes the road to outsourcing 4.0 by providing updated information and perspectives on these trends, given that outsourcing has evolved significantly over the years and new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning are changing the way outsourcing is done. In addition, the book also explores new models such as third-party logistics (3PL) providers and crowdsourcing which have changed the landscape of outsourcing. Lastly, the book includes updated best practices for outsourcing, including how to choose outsourcing partners, manage outsourcing relationships, and minimize risks in the post-COVID-19 recovery period. Each chapter in the book goes through concepts, development histories, benefits, risks and challenges, and includes recent case studies.

Abstract

“[A] fusion of empathetic strategies with practical insights offers a transformative perspective on workplace efficiency and burnout prevention, making it essential reading for leaders and HR professionals in creating sustainable, healthy organizational cultures.” - Ganna Pogrebna, Professor of Behavioral Analytics and Data Science, University of Sydney, Australia “[...] This is a must-read for those interested in both process management and burnout. And the links between both”. - Sir Cary L. Cooper, Professor of Organizational Psychology & Health, Alliance Manchester Business School, England “Blending rigorous academic research with real-world insights, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of work efficiency and psychological well-being”. - Kurt Matzler, Professor of Strategic Management, University of Innsbruck, Austria, and author of The High Performance Mindset: Race Across America, listed in Forbes Ten Best Business Books of 2023 How can we work towards ensuring that organisations are robust and highly productive and avoid issues such as tiredness, burnout, high employee turnover, motivational issues, or problems with the emotional climate? Bringing together the fields of process management and organisational behaviour for the first time, this book provides sorely needed practical guidance on how organisations can diagnose, anticipate, and address psychological issues in their workforces as well as process vulnerabilities in their operations. Advocating for a human-centred approach to process management, the authors help discover and prevent negative psychological issues related to emotional exhaustion. This book offers a step-by-step toolkit for burnout recognition and systematic prevention using established process management tools. Thus, the book offers a deep look into psychological aspects far beyond classical process management. Yevgen Bogodistov, currently a Professor of Project and Process Management at the Management Centre Innsbruck (MCI), Austria, is a dedicated researcher in business process management and organisational behaviour. Prior to his academic role, he held positions as a leading economist, HR director, and COO in a midsize Ukrainian enterprise. Jürgen Moormann, a Professor of Bank and Process Management at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, specialises in strategic development, business engineering, and process management. With a background in management consulting, he brings valuable expertise to the German financial services sector.

Abstract

This book is a revised version of the PhD dissertation written by the author at Sapienza – Università di Roma in Italy. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an automation technology in the field of BPM that creates software robots to automate rule-based and repetitive tasks performed by human users in their applications’ user interfaces (UIs). The research underlying this thesis is targeted to: (i) automatically understand which user actions contribute to which routines inside a UI log and (ii) automatically generate executable RPA scripts directly from the UI logs. To this end, a cross-platform software tool called smartRPA was developed, which is able to generate executable RPA scripts, and then validated on four non-functional requirements to measure the quality of the underlying approach. In 2023, the PhD dissertation won the “BPM Dissertation Award”, granted to outstanding PhD theses in the field of Business Process Management.

Abstract

This book explores a process perspective on design and development, grounded in research in design studies, engineering design and systems design. The design and development process is important---it creates all artificial products and systems and determines how well they address human needs. The process perspective set out in this book has value for design and development practice and education, and is in its own right a fascinating topic of investigation. This book expands on the foundations of a process perspective and discusses its realisation in many process models, theories and approaches that have been developed over the years. The chapters provide connected overviews of key concepts and introduce new conceptual frameworks to clarify relationships between the contributions discussed. Practical considerations and competencies required to realise the tangible benefits of a process perspective are also discussed. A unique aspect of this book is that it brings together many perspectives on the design and development process: those that focus on individual design activity through to those that focus on large-scale development projects; those of research interest and those of practical interest; and those of relevance to design contexts ranging from human-centered design to engineering design and systems design. The chapter bibliographies collect carefully-selected recommendations for further reading on each topic discussed. The book additionally contains many figures presented in colour, visually reflecting each topic's relationship to the new organising frameworks that are introduced.

Abstract

This book fills a serious gap by providing a conceptual framework for understanding the digital world. This world contains large, heterogeneous systems that have to manage dynamic behavior as well as static items and data. Obviously, new, digital methods are needed to deal with the challenges of the digital world. This book introduces such a method with Heraklit, an intuitively simple, albeit powerful framework for modeling, communicating, and analyzing computer-integrated systems. It integrates proven methods for composing modules, describing behavior with local cause and effect, and digitally representing real- and imagined-world items, resulting in a comprehensive, expressive, concerted, technically simple, digital modeling method. This book is structured according to three Heraklit pillars, starting in Part I with the central Heraklit concept of modules, in particular their composition and refinement. Part II covers the second pillar of Heraklit, dynamics, focusing on modules that describe aspects of behavior. Part III focuses on static aspects. In particular, real- and imagined-world items and their symbolic representation are carefully distinguished and related. Together, these three pillars are consolidated in Part IV, integrating all concepts into a powerful formal framework. The book concludes in Part V with a more comprehensive case study of a typical retail business, recommendations on how to start modeling with Heraklit, and useful graphical conventions for the graphical representation of Heraklit models. Heraklit covers the range from the first informal structuring ideas for a computer-integrated system, through the specification of (business) processes, the contributions of people, organizations, and mechanical devices, up to the construction of software. The book is therefore written for students in areas related to system modeling, system design, and system engineering, as well as for professionals in these fields.
