Business Process Management IS 362

This course looks at ways in which business processes can be analyzed, redesigned, and improved. A business process is a set of activities that jointly realize a business goal in an organizational and technical environment. These processes take place in a single organization but may need to interact with processes in other organizations. Business process management (BPM) is concerned with the concepts, methods, and techniques that support the design, administration, configuration, enactment, and analysis of business processes. BPM is concerned with the explicit representation of processes – once they are defined, processes can be analyzed, improved, and enacted. Software in the form of business process management systems can be used to coordinate business process activities. By taking this course you will be able to understand business process from a general management perspective, and learn tools, analytical frameworks and general principles for managing business processes. The aim of this course is to introduce you to methodologies and techniques of business process modeling. A main objective is to increase your awareness of the concepts and foundations of business process modeling and the potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations by using business process modeling
