Seminar themes:

1. Processes and Process Evaluation in the APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF)

   Goal: APQC - the American Productivity and Quality Center - is an important cross industry center conceptualising business and management processes. The process abstraction concepts within the PCF and the aggregation concepts for business processes both in the structural and the processual dimensions (in particular process evaluation) are to be explained.

   Literature: APQC’s Process Classification Framework (PCF), additional recherche required.

2. Systems, Business Processes and Management in Business TRIZ

   Goal: TRIZ is a contradiction oriented systemic innovation framework. Business TRIZ applies the general TRIZ approaches to resolve contraditions to business systems and business process landscapes. The main approaches and tools are to be explained.

   Literature: (Souchkov 2010), (Souchkov 2014)

3. Conceptual Systems and Coordination Processes in Agent-based Business Systems

   Goal: While classical business and management theories focus on managers with sufficient authority, in our seminar we are mainly interested in business processes in multi-stakeholder environments, where such interventional power is usually not available. This is typical for prosumer approaches, where value production is distributed between provider and customer. The agent-based approach addresses such a distributed decision-making and responsibility environment. The special features of the concepts compared to classical business process approaches are to be worked out.

   Literature: Recherche required

4. Coordination Processes in SCOR - the Supply Chain Operations Reference Model

   Goal: A typical context of distributed business processes is met in supply chains. SCOR extends the classical business process concepts with terms that can be used to verbalise, process and evaluate various specific problems in such supply chains. These concepts are to be introduced and classified.

   Literature: (APICS SCOR 2017), additional recherche required

5. Business Process Landscaping

   Goal: Business Processes Landscapes address the dynamisation of classically static Supply Chains in modern agile distributed production systems. The contradiction between profitability and reliability that has to be solved in this context represents a significant conceptual and procedural challenge. It can only be solved to a limited extent with Service Level Agreements. Experiences and conceptual consolidations in this area are to be presented based on the background of the business process concepts discussed earlier in the seminar.

   Literature: Recherche required

6. Schematisation in the Work of G.P. Shchedrovitsky

   Goal: All concepts discussed so far address Business Process Modelling as a kind of inter-business verbalisation and abstraction of real business experiences. Business organisations as OMG or APQC are socio-political bodies to incorporate such real experiences into the further development of the concepts. However, in the last semester we noticed that there is a large excess of theory building that is never relevant in practice. There is a lack of a "theory of theory building", as proposed and practically tested in action games by the Russian philosopher G.P. Shchedrovitsky. Under his advice structural assumptions about levels of verbalisation of corresponding experiences were developed and examined for their viability in the Methodological School of Management. These connections are to be presented in more detail.

   Literature: (Khristenko et al. 2014, Part 1), (Shchedrovitsky 1981)

7. Process Improvement Patterns. Exploitative and Explorative Business Process Improvements

   Goal: The aim of all analytical efforts to verbalise business processes is to improve them through targeted systemic transformations. Systemic means the (external and internal) demarcation of an area in the sense of our system concept, which is subject to a targeted transformation. Targeted means that an "ideal end result" in the sense of TRIZ is to be achieved. Targeted transformation means that this goal is prepared and evaluated by modelling the system as well as a transition path that is subsequently rolled out. Not only Business TRIZ assumes that such transformations follow certain Process Improvement Patterns. Corresponding theoretical approaches are to be presented and compared.

   Literature: (Rosemann 2020)

8. Business Innovation in ISO 56000:2020.

   Goal: ISO 56000 "Innovation management – Fundamentals and vocabulary" is a newly (in 2020) adopted international standard in which terms and concepts for innovation management are standardised at a sufficiently general level of abstraction. The basic concepts and terms are to be presented and compared with the terminology developed so far in the seminar.

   Literature: ISO 56000

9. Sustainable Business Model Patterns and Anti-Patterns

   Goal: The integration of sustainable goals into business models is of high importance to meet the key challenges of today's society, such as climate change, social justice and resource scarcity. To this end, companies are increasingly resorting to reflect their business model in terms of economic, ecological and social responsibility. Business model patterns can support this by identifying proven and applicable solutions and by helping to identify potential for improvement. In addition, anti-patterns, which represent solutions that are known to have shortcomings, can be used to design business models. An overview of existing sustainable business model patterns and anti-patterns has to be developed based on a systematic literature review.

   Literature: (Lüdeke-Freund et al. 2018)

10. Service Oriented Business Process Management

    Classical Business Process approaches are focused on process management in production structures where classical products are produced that can be sold as tangible goods on the market. In the last 50 years, however, production structures for services have gained enormous importance. The associated structural change in society, which has taken place and is taking place in different ways in all western industrialised countries, is also referred to as the transition to a service society. The lecture will examine and present which differences and new aspects arise in the field of BP modelling and management of such service-oriented structures.
