Dieses Lehrbuch umfasst den gesamten Lebenszyklus des Geschäftsprozessmanagements (BPM), von der Prozessidentifikation bis zur Prozessüberwachung, und die entsprechenden Schritte der Erhebung, Analyse, Verbesserung und Implementierung von Prozesse. Dabei werden Konzepte, Methoden und Werkzeuge der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, der Informatik und der Ingenieurswissenschaften als Teil eines durchgängigen und interdisziplinären Ansatzes dargestellt. Die Darstellung illustriert die Nutzung der Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), einem weltweit etablierten Standard zur Prozessmodellierung. Neben den konzeptuellen Grundlagen bietet das Buch eine Vielzahl von Beispielen, mehr als 230 Übungen – viele davon mit Musterlösungen – und weitere Empfehlungen für die vertiefende Lektüre. Die vorliegende Ausgabe umfasst viele aktuelle Themen, wie bspw. Prozess-Mining, Prozessautomatisierung mithilfe von BPM-Systemen oder Robotic Process Automation und eine Betrachtung von BPM als strategische Unternehmensfähigkeit. Das Lehrbuch ist das Ergebnis von vielen Jahren Lehr- und Beratungstätigkeit der Autoren. Praktiker als auch Studierende der Informatik und der Betriebswirtschaftslehre werden gleichermaßen von den Konzepten und der Methodik des Buchs profitieren. Dozenten kommen das Lehrformat und die zusätzlichen Unterrichtsmaterialien der begleitenden Webseite zugute.trigger
