<title>Automatisierte Erschließung der Erkenntnispotentiale digitaler Daten - Konzeption und Entwicklung intelligenter Analysemethoden und Werkzeuge zur Operationalisierung nutzergenerierter Daten mittels Data Science und generativer Künstlicher Intelligenz</title>
<abstract>Die vorliegende kumulative Dissertation untersucht zwei komplementäre Forschungsfelder zur datengetriebenen Analyse und Nutzung digitaler Kommunikationsdaten. Das erste Forschungsgebiet adressiert ökonomische Fragestellungen und entwickelt Methoden, mit denen unstrukturierte, nutzergenerierte Inhalte aus sozialen Medien systematisch für marketingorientierte Entscheidungsprozesse operationalisiert werden können. Durch die Konzeption, Implementierung und Evaluation datengetriebener Analysewerkzeuge werden neue Ansätze zur Erschließung von Erkenntnispotenzialen aus digitalen Kommunikationsstrukturen bereitgestellt. Das zweite Forschungsgebiet erweitert den Fokus um eine gesellschaftliche Perspektive und befasst sich mit der Gestaltung KI-gestützter digitaler Assistenzsysteme. Im Mittelpunkt stehen adaptive, nutzerzentrierte Kommunikationsagenten in der Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) sowie gesundheitsbezogene Chatbots, die durch generative KI personalisiert und kontextsensitiv interagieren. Beide Forschungsstränge leisten einen Beitrag zur methodischen Weiterentwicklung und praktischen Anwendung von Data-Science- und KI-Methoden im IS-Kontext. Sie zeigen, wie datengetriebene Technologien sowohl unternehmerische Entscheidungsprozesse unterstützen als auch gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und individuelle Autonomie fördern können.</abstract>

<title>Methoden und Ansätze für die zielgerichtete Gestaltung der Interaktionen mit modernen Informations- und Kommunikationssystemen</title>
<abstract>Die Entwicklung neuer Technologien stellt sowohl Unternehmen als auch die Gesellschaft vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Gleichzeitig eröffnen moderne digitale Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme vielfältige Chancen und Potenziale. Insbesondere eröffnen sie umfangreiche Möglichkeiten für die Entwicklung von Lösungen, die bestehende Probleme noch gezielter adressieren können und dabei passgenau auf die Bedürfnisse, Anwendungsfälle und Herausforderungen ihrer Nutzerinnen und Nutzer zugeschnitten sind.
Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgt die vorliegende Dissertation das Ziel, ausgewählte Technologien und Ansätze aus den Bereichen Social Media, Chatbots sowie Systemen der unterstützten Kommunikation für sprachbehinderte Personen (sogenannte AAC-Systeme) im Rahmen konkreter Anwendungsszenarien zu analysieren und zu evaluieren. Darauf aufbauend werden konkrete und zielgerichtete Möglichkeiten für deren Gestaltung und Einsatz formuliert. Mit verschiedenen gestaltungsorientierten Forschungsbeiträge leistet die Dissertation umfassende theorie- und praxisorientierte Beiträge zur Lösung operativer und gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen an der Schnittstelle der Interaktion zwischen Individuen und modernen digitalen Informations- und Kommunikationssystemen.</abstract>

<title>A Generative AI-Based Approach to Support Automated Utterance Generation for Different Conversational Contexts within AAC Systems</title>
<abstract>To foster their full integration into the mainstream of society, speech-impaired individuals need to be empowered to use vocal language in various daily life situations. AI-based AAC systems enable speech-impaired individuals to generate completed utterances for use in conversations. However, available solutions exhibit remarkable drawbacks. They do not meet all posed requirements and cannot provide completed sentences that match the expected styles of formal and informal conversational contexts. Therefore, design requirements for a Generative AI-based utterance composition approach were identified. It has been followed design science research to derive design principles and an instantiation of an AAC prototype that enables context-specific and user-individualizable articulation. The artifact was demonstrated and evaluated with formal and informal interactions commonly performed in the daily routine of visiting a restaurant. In particular, the importance of meeting all specific requirements and employing Generative AI, such as ChatGPT-4.0, to generate both formal and informal utterances, is exemplified.</abstract>

<title>MANTRA: A Topic Modeling-Based Tool to Support Automated Trend Analysis on Unstructured Social Media Data</title>
<abstract>The early identification of new and auspicious ideas leads to competitive advantages for companies. Thereby, topic modeling can serve as an effective analytical approach for the automated investigation of trends from unstructured social media data. However, existing trend analysis tools do not meet the requirements regarding (a) Product Development, (b) Customer Behavior Analysis, and (c) Market-/Brand-Monitoring as reflected within extant literature. Thus, based on the requirements for each of these common marketing-related use cases, we derived design principles following design science research and instantiated the artifact “MANTRA” (MArketiNg TRend Analysis). We demonstrated MANTRA on a real-world data set (~1.03 million Yelp reviews) and hereby could confirm remarkable trends of vegan and global cuisine. In particular, the importance of meeting all specific requirements of the respective use cases and especially flexibly incorporating several external parameters into the trend analysis is exemplified.</abstract>

<title>ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AUGMENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS – A LITERATURE-BASED ASSESSMENT AND IMPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENT CONVERSATION PHASES AND CONTEXTS</title>
<abstract>Even though AAC systems and corresponding AI approaches have been investigated within the extant
research, they still show remarkable drawbacks, resulting in a low prevalence among speech-impaired individuals. As the suggestions and adaptions proposed by AI within AAC systems may show insufficiencies in certain situations (e.g., unreliable suggestions, low conversational rates, unauthentic adaptions towards users), we take an up-close look, especially at the conversation phases and contexts in  which the supporting AI is applied. Therefore, we have conducted a systematic literature review as well  as a literature analysis. Thereby, we could reveal that there are indeed several gaps within the extant  research on AI regarding the coverage of the conversational context “informativeness” and the conversation phases “beginning” and “closing”. To dismantle the existing communication barriers that  speech-impaired individuals suffer from, several implications for investigating AI in the context of AAC  systems are derived and proposed for future (IS) research.</abstract>

<title>Weiterentwicklung von Methoden und Ansätzen zur automatisierten Informationsextraktion aus Social Networks</title>
<abstract>Die Dissertation „Weiterentwicklung von Methoden und Ansätzen zur automatisierten Informationsextraktion aus Social Networks“ beschäftigt sich mit der Analyse von Social Media Network Daten. Neben der Unterscheidung und Charakterisierung verschiedener, in der Literatur vorkommender, einflussreicher Nutzertypen in Social Media Networks wird der Fokus auch auf die (automatisierte) Identifikation von verschiedenen, einflussreichen Nutzertypen unter Verwendung von diversen Methoden zur Analyse von strukturierten und unstrukturierten Social Media Daten gelegt.
Außerdem thematisiert die Dissertation die Analyse von textuellen Social Media Network Daten. So wird ein Vergleich zwischen verschiedenen Topic Modelling Techniken durchgeführt, um für ausgewählte Einsatzszenarien Handlungsempfehlungen abgeben zu können. Des Weiteren werden Anforderungen an ein Trend Analyse Tool erhoben, auf Basis derer Softwaretools zur automatisierten Analyse von textuellen Social Media Inhalten (u.a. unter Berücksichtigung von aspektbasierter Sentimentanalyse) erstellt und evaluiert wurden. Weitere Forschungsaktivitäten zielen auf die Ableitung von Gestaltungsansätzen für die Social Media Strategie bei gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen durch die Analyse von Social Media Network Daten ab.</abstract>

<title>Automated identification of different lead users regarding the innovation process</title>
<abstract>Lead users are often established in an organizational innovation process to attenuate the difficulties a company faces, such as high costs or the obscurity of customers' needs. But to benefit from these lead users a major challenge is to characterize and identify them especially in the fast-moving world of social media. Therefore, we aim to design a tool to identify lead users automatically for the two innovation phases ("Idea generation" and "Development") by combining different approaches such as social network analysis, topic modeling and sentiment analysis. Thus, we consulted the design science approach and applied our artifact to 11,481 contributions of an online digital platform. The technical realization of the six different characteristics and their respective weighting according to the different phases of the innovation process resulted in different lead users and showed the necessity of distinguishing between them. Our results were evaluated and confirmed by the identified lead users and an expert. Hence, our investigation contributes to both practice and theory (kernel theories and design theory) alike.</abstract>

<title>Chatbot Design Features to Increase Productivity</title>
<abstract>In recent years, chatbots have become a growing presence in our everyday lives. Companies have identified various potential use-cases posing opportunities for reducing costs and providing services through automating processes with the help of chatbots. However, although an increasing number of chatbots are developed, user expectations often cannot be met, leading to frequent discontinuation of the bots. Research suggests that for users, one of the main reasons to use a chatbot is to help them increase their productivity. The literature base so far provides little prescriptive knowledge guiding implementation of chatbots specifically for use-cases where productivity is the main purpose. This short paper is the first step within a Design Science Research project to close this gap. We conducted a systematic literature review and gathered chatbot Design Features that were covered in respective publications. In the further course of our project, we intend to implement a prototype chatbot and formulate Design Principles to provide prescriptive knowledge for designing productivity oriented chatbots.</abstract>

<title>Identifying Value-adding Users in Enterprise Social Networks</title>
<abstract>Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) have been gaining increasing attention both in academia and practice. In previous works, different user types were identified in ESN. However, there is no clear definition of value-adding users, their characteristics and how this type of user can be identified. Based on a literature review, we show that value-adding users are defined in different ways in respect to different objectives, for example spreading knowledge, vivacity of the network or real-time feedback. Each of the value-adding users shows different characteristics that are allocated to the following dimensions: network structure, message, behavior, and social network affinity. Based on the objectives and characteristics, we conduct a single case study, analyze a dataset of a cooperating company, conduct several interviews, and thereby identify value-adding users with respect to objectives. So, we can show that our approach is applicable, useful and that it is a valuable means to take decisions.</abstract>

<title>UR: SMART--A tool for analyzing social media content</title>
<abstract>The digital transformation, with its ongoing trend towards electronic business, confronts companies with increasingly growing amounts of data which have to be processed, stored and analyzed. Instant access to the "right" information at the time it is needed is crucial and thus, the use of techniques for the handling of big amounts of unstructured data, in particular, becomes a competitive advantage. In this context, one important field of application is digital marketing, because sophisticated data analysis allows companies to gain deeper insights into customer needs and behavior based on their reviews, complaints as well as posts in online forums or social networks. However, existing tools for the automated analysis of social content often focus on one general approach by either prioritizing the analysis of the posts' semantics or the analysis of pure numbers (e.g., sum of likes or shares). Hence, this design science research project develops the software tool UR:SMART, which supports the analysis of social media data by combining different kinds of analysis methods. This allows deep insights into users' needs and opinions and therefore prepares the ground for the further interpretation of the voice. The applicability of UR:SMART is demonstrated at a German financial institution. Furthermore, the usability is evaluated with the help of a SUMI (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) study, which shows the tool's usefulness to support social media analyses from the users' perspective.</abstract>

<title>“BeMyVoice”--An iPad-Based Helper for Speech Impaired Persons</title>
<abstract>In the recent past, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems have been introduced as a means to assist speech impaired persons to interconnect with the environment and to increase their communication skills. Considering this, tablet-PC-based AAC systems are getting ever more popular due to reasons of cost efficiency, portability and social acceptance. However, many existing apps do not fully exploit the software and hardware capabilities of topical devices. Moreover, studies on the capabilities of platform-related development environments (e.g., iOS SDK) – in their current versions – to realize tablet-PC-based AAC systems are missing. In this work, we develop an iPad-based AAC prototype, which considers the technical capacities of the device and is offered as an open source solution.</abstract>

<title>COMPARISON OF TOPIC MODELLING TECHNIQUES IN MARKETING - RESULTS FROM AN ANALYSIS OF DISTINCTIVE USE CASES</title>
<abstract>Currently, topic modelling is an effective analytical tool for the automated investigation of text data. However, identifying the underlying topics is still a challenging task that is dependent on the selection of the proper technique. Moreover, due to the considerable number of topic modelling techniques reported
in the literature, uncertainty about the application of the techniques arises for both researchers and practitioners. Therefore, we conducted a comparison of three different topic modelling techniques (LDA, PAM, DMR) to give recommendations for three use cases identified in the literature: content extraction, trend analysis and content structuring. For each of them, we identified several requirements and by conducting the method ‘Goal Question Metric’, we derived several comparison metrics. We applied these metrics to a real-world Facebook data set (4,155,992 posts) to highlight the differences between the three topic modelling techniques and to give recommendations for our defined use cases.</abstract>

<title>Six Sigma for Smart production Services-towards a Modeling Tool-based Approach</title>
<abstract>In the era of “industry 4.0”, manufacturing companies are increasingly complementing their product portfolio with service offerings, so-called smart production services (e.g., maintenance works). In this respect, the quality of these services is decisive for truly creating added “value” for customers. However, smart service quality is an under-researched topic in the quality management discipline to date, and operational methods and tools are largely missing. In this research-in-progress paper, we introduce the reader to our effort to specify the established Six Sigma approach to work for smart production services and introduce a prototypical modeling tool to support such quality projects.</abstract>

<title>Konzeption, Implementierung und Evaluation von
automatisierten Ansätzen zur Analyse von Social-Media
Inhalten</title>
<abstract>Diese Dissertation behandelt die Konzeption und Entwicklung der hybriden Softwarelösung „Universität Regensburg: Social-Media Analysis Research Toolkit“ (UR:SMART), welche die mehrstufige Kombination verschiedener Social-Media Analysetechniken(Sentiment Analyse, Klassifikation von Posts, Clustering und quantitative Analysen) und verschiedene Datenformate (z. B. strukturierte bzw. unstrukturierte Daten) unterstützt.
Der entwickelte, hybride Analyseansatz ermöglicht eine detaillierte, mehrstufige Untersuchung verschiedener Datenbasen, einschließlich Social-Media Posts oder Kommentaren auf der Fanseite oder Website eines
Unternehmens. Somit kann ein breiteres Spektrum hochkomplexer Problemstellungen, auf Basis der Kombination verschiedener Analyseformen sowie der Integration neuer Analysetypen, gelöst werden. Auf diese Weise kann ein Unternehmen, welches die hybride Analyse verwendet, beispielsweise direkt über die Gründe informiert werden, die zu einer positiven oder negativen Kundenerfahrung führen(z. B. Kundendienst, Produktqualität usw.). Solche Informationen stellen einen erheblichen Wissenszuwachs dar und können auf viele sinnvolle Arten genutzt werden, beispielsweise als verlässliche Entscheidungsgrundlage bei der Planung künftiger CRM Kampagnen.</abstract>

<title>Identifying Sentiment Influences Provoked by Context Factors – Results from a Data Analytics Procedure Performed on Tweets</title>
<abstract>Context factors have lasting impacts on people’s sentiments. Exploring impacts that different contexts have on sentiments can be crucial for managing the increasing number of communications companies nowadays maintain with customers via social media channels. To help companies prevent impacts of neg-ative word of mouth, we provide an overview about sentiment-influential contexts for tweets as one kind of social media texts previously discussed within the literature. We collected an overall amount of 358.923.210 tweets and performed analysis to un-cover the effects of continents, mobile devices’ oper-ating systems (OS) and the combination of both on sentiments expressed within tweets. Our results show remarkable differences for tweets originating from North America and Apple devices, which turned out to be the tweets with the lowest sentiments compared to the other continents and the mobile OS Android.</abstract>

<title>Influential Users in Social Media Networks: A Literature Review</title>
<abstract>The importance of social media networks has been increasing in both private and business contexts over the last decade. Companies have recognised the potential of online as well as enterprise social networks. Whether a company can benefit from the usage of social media networks depends on the respective users. Especially the influential user type is able to mobilise and propagate information and marketing messages across the network and is therefore in the centre of attention. In current research literature, different groups of influential users can be identified, but they are not characterised and defined consistently. We approach this research gap and perform a literature review to provide a structured overview of the different influential user types. To this end, we elaborate a morphological box, an artefact that serves as an overview of the multiplicity of the characteristics of influential users and as a starting point for structuring the different characteristics of influential users.</abstract>

<title>Potentiale von Enterprise Social Networks und Business Process Management zur Gestaltung effizienter Unternehmen</title>
<abstract>In dieser Dissertation werden ausgewählte Fragestellungen aus den Bereichen Business Process Management (BPM) und Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) beantwortet.
Im Kontext des BPM werden drei Forschungsfragen erarbeitet: (1) In welchem Ausmaß sind BPM-Maßnahmen in klein- und mittelständischen Unternehmen umgesetzt? Welche Faktoren können identifiziert werden, die sich fördernd oder hindernd auf die Umsetzung von BPM-Maßnahmen auswirken? (2) Welche Auswirkungen (z.B. Zeit, Kosten) haben BPI-Pattern in verschiedenen Szenarien? Was sind fördernde und hindernde Faktoren für die Anwendung von einzelnen BPI-Pattern? (3) Wie können kulturelle Eigenschaften anhand von Geschäftsprozessen gemessen werden und wie lassen sich die gewonnen Erkenntnisse in Prozessverbesserungsinitiativen nutzen?
Im Kontext des ESN werden ebenfalls drei Forschungsfragen erarbeitet: (1) Was ist der aktuelle Stand der Literatur im Themenbereich ESN und welcher Forschungsbedarf besteht weiterhin? (2) Welche Benefits lassen sich durch den Einsatz von ESN erzielen? Können alle Benefits den traditionellen IT Capabilities zugeordnet werden oder schaffen ESN neue IT Capabilities? (3) Wie kann der Erfolg von ESN im Kontext von "Social Capital" gemessen werden und welchen Nutzen bringt ein entsprechender Messansatz?
Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen werden unterschiedliche Forschungsmethodiken angewendet, im Speziellen Literature Review, Survey, Case Study, Design Science, Content Analysis und Experiment.

<title>Measuring the Success of Social Media: Matching Identified Success Factors to Social Media KPIs</title>
<abstract>With the rise of social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., recently, a lot of excitement and optimism around the potential of corporate social media usage have emerged. Social media activities allow companies to reach an attractive mass audience segment, but just as for any other marketing medium, measurement is a critical component of success. Hence, many critical success factors (CSFs) necessary for successful B2C social media efforts have been compiled in literature over the last years. Although these CSFs are numerous, a classification for a purposeful application as well as corresponding key performance indicators (KPIs) for the concrete measurement of CSFs are missing. Therefore, first (1), this research aims at the identification of existing CSFs for social media in enterprises in literature and classifying them by their specific application. Second (2), to allow the definite measurement of CSFs, corresponding KPIs are identified and matched towards them.</abstract>

<title>Comparison of Commercial Chatbot solutions for Supporting Customer Interaction</title>
<abstract>Considering the advancing digitalization and the rise of new technologies, the way people interact with one another but also approach companies has fundamentally changed. In this respect, chatbots have experienced a “comeback” recently and many large companies but also small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the B2C sector search for ways to support the conversation with customers via chatbots. Nevertheless, chatbots must fulfil particular functionalities (e.g., in terms of language processing or quality of communication) to be purposefully applied in an entrepreneurial setting, and particularly, at SMEs. The investigation at hand analyses the solutions of 14 technology providers for realizing a chatbot in terms of (1) quality of the communication, (2) reaction to inappropriate input, (3) personalization, (4) language processing, (5) security, (6) interfaces & mobile device support, (7) training, (8) implementation and (9) costs. Thereby, the peculiarities of human-machine communications and requirements of firms are taken into account. The results were derived on base of an online survey among the solution providers. It turned out that a high percentage of the functionalities, which are decisive for a valuable entrepreneurial chatbot application, are covered by the providers, however, with nuanced differences being observed regarding particular features.</abstract>

<title>Process-related value propositions of enterprise social media use for the external communication with end consumers</title>
<abstract>Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify process-related value propositions in terms of process execution when using enterprise social media (ESM) for external communication purposes. Additionally, capabilities of ESM technologies to realize the value propositions are identified. Design/methodology/approach - A literature review of case studies, describing ESM usage for external communication purposes, is performed. Further, face-to-face interviews with employees from companies are conducted to complement the findings retrieved from the literature. Findings - It is shown that manifold process-related value propositions for different business processes can be realized by ESM application for external communication purposes. However, certain value propositions and the corresponding capabilities of ESM technologies are particularly emphasized. Research limitations/implications - This research is different from existing studies about ESM usage because an explicit perspective on business processes is taken. Therefore, the findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge of beneficial ESM usage. Analyzing the literature and interview transcripts underlies a certain amount of subjectivity, a circumstance addressed by engaging two researchers in the coding procedure. Practical implications - Practitioners discussing potentials of ESM application are provided with concrete hints as to which business processes will most likely profit from the use of social technologies for the external communication with customers. Originality/value - This paper contributes to a better understanding of the beneficial impact of social technologies on business processes and thus prepares the ground for a better alignment of ESM and processes. An extensive overview of value propositions for a company's business processes has so far not been compiled in this form.</abstract>

<title>Prozessorientiertes  Qualitätsmanagement in  Zeiten der Digitalisierung: Forschungs-­ und Entwicklungsarbeiten am  Lehrstuhl für Business Engineering an der Universität Regensburg</title>
<abstract>Dem prozessorientierten Qualitätsmanagement kommt in Zeiten der Digitalisierung enorme Bedeutung zu. Bedingt durch neue Technologien können Konsumenten sehr einfach Informationen über Produkte, Anbieter oder die günstigsten Angebote einholen und zudem über soziale Plattformen Erfahrungen austauschen. Dies führt dazu, dass sich die Erwartungshaltung der Kunden sehr rasch ändert und Unternehmen ihre Geschäftsprozesse entsprechend anpassen bzw. verbessern müssen, um Konsumenten langfristig zu binden.
Allerdings erweist sich die Durchführung von Prozessverbesserungsprojekten in der Praxis oft als herausfordernd. Aus diesem Grund wurden ein Verbesserungsansatz für Geschäftsprozesse entwickelt und ein Softwaretool realisiert, um Unternehmen bei der zielgerichteten Durchführung von prozessorientierten Qualitätsmanagementprojekten zu unterstützen. Die vorgestellte Lösung trägt maßgeblich zur systematischen Erarbeitung, Dokumentation sowie Kommunikation von Projektergebnissen bei und leistet auf diese Weise einen wichtigen Beitrag für den Erfolg von Prozessverbesserungsinitiativen.</abstract>

<title>Meta Modeling for Business Process Improvement</title>
<abstract>Conducting business process improvement (BPI) initiatives is a topic of high priority for today's companies. However, performing BPI projects has become challenging. This is due to rapidly changing customer requirements and an increase of inter-organizational business processes, which need to be considered from an end-to-end perspective. In addition, traditional BPI approaches are more and more perceived as overly complex and too resource-consuming in practice. Against this background, the paper proposes a BPI roadmap, which is an approach for systematically performing BPI projects and serves practitioners' needs for manageable BPI methods. Based on this BPI roadmap, a domain-specific conceptual modeling method (DSMM) has been developed. The DSMM supports the efficient documentation and communication of the results that emerge during the application of the roadmap. Thus, conceptual modeling acts as a means for purposefully codifying the outcomes of a BPI project. Furthermore, a corresponding software prototype has been implemented using a meta modeling platform to assess the technical feasibility of the approach. Finally, the usability of the prototype has been empirically evaluated.</abstract>

<title>"What does the customer want to tell us?" - An automated classification approach for social media posts at SMEs.</title>
<abstract>Social media posts created by customers capture a lot of business relevant information for decision-makers, e.g., current consumer expectations on products and services. For that purpose, the social media posts need to be analyzed thoroughly. In this respect, a topic-related classification facilitates managerial decision-making because business-relevant topics, social media users discuss about, immediately become obvious and the need for action can be derived. For instance, it may get obvious that the majority of a company’s negative customer posts refers to a particular product or a specific campaign. However, such a classification of social media posts is particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This is because human resources for a manual examination of posts are missing and an automatic analysis is error-prone due to particularities of customer posts such as the occurrence of regional dialect or branch-specific expressions. We thus develop a tool, which enables the automatized topic-related classification of social media posts and matches the particular requirements of SMEs in southern Germany. Our solution is evaluated by using a data set stemming from three collaborating companies.</abstract>

<title>Enterprise social networks: A literature review and research agenda</title>
<abstract>Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs) have been receiving increasingly more attention in academia and practice over the past years. ESNs are implemented to improve collaboration among employees and to foster knowledge management by capturing tacit knowledge, among other reasons. However, ESNs do not always fulfill the companies’ expectations and consequently companies question their investment. Due to the growing popularity of ESNs in practice and the still unanswered questions of how to ultimately achieve ESN success, a growing number of researchers have started to analyze the ESN phenomenon, leading to a steadily growing number of publications in a variety of outlets. However, research groups are not in accordance yet on what terminology to use for the given phenomenon. This shows that the young research field of ESNs is still in development. To support future research and practice, we perform a literature review to answer three research questions: first, we analyze which terms for the phenomenon of ESNs were used and which term tends to be accepted by the community recently. Second, we analyze ESN publications regarding the addressed topics to provide a state-of-the-art in regard to ESN research. We elaborate a framework using the dimensions ESN implementation status and focus of investigation to structure the publications and to provide a comprehensive overview of the research topics. Third, we identify areas of future research on the basis of the current publications and trending topics.</abstract>

<title>Measuring National Culture by Analyzing Business Processes: A Case Study in Germany and India</title>
<abstract>Nowadays, many companies face problems because of cultural differ-ences, especially in multinational settings. Traditionally, national cultures have so far been identified by questionnaires asking participants about e.g., their val-ues. These invisible elements of culture become manifest in tangible artifacts such as concrete actions or structures, e.g., rituals and organizational charts. Process models serve as a graphical representation of processes precisely describ-ing activities, responsibilities and process flows. Thus, we anticipate that the be-havior becoming apparent in process models provides insights into national char-acteristics. Consequently, the goal of this paper is to develop an approach to measure national culture in process models. Based on Hofstede’s (2010) cultural dimensions, we define metrics that can be applied to process models. We demon-strate the use of these metrics by applying them to a process executed both in a German and an Indian company. Our analysis confirms a correspondence of the metrics’ results with Hofstede’s findings.</abstract>

<title>What benefits do they bring? A case study analysis on Enterprise Social Networks</title>
<abstract>Over the last years, Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) have gained increasing attention both in academia and practice, resulting in a large number of publications dealing with ESN. Among them is a large number of case studies describing the benefits of ESN in each individual case. Based on the different research objects they focus, various benefits are described. However, an overview of the benefits achieved by using ESN is missing and will, thus, be elaborated in this article (research question 1). Further, we cluster the identified benefits to more generic categories and finally classify them to the capabilities of traditional IT as presented by Davenport and Short (1990) to determine if new capabilities of IT arise using ESN (research question 2).
To address our research questions, we perform a qualitative content analysis on 37 ESN case studies. As a result, we identify 99 individual benefits, classify them to the capabilities of traditional IT, and define a new IT capability named Social Capital. Our results can, e.g., be used to align and expand current ESN success measurement approaches.</abstract>

<title>Ausgewählte Ansätze zur Unterstützung des Business Process Management - Analyse der Erfolgsfaktoren und Einsatzmöglichkeiten von
Process Performance Management und Enterprise Social Media</title>
<abstract>Die ersten beiden Forschungsfragen befassen sich mit den Erfolgsfaktoren für den Einsatz von kontinuierlichen Ansätzen zur Unterstützung des Business Process Management (BPM). Hierzu wird exemplarisch das Process Performance Management (PPM) untersucht. Zunächst werden allgemeine erfolgskritische Faktoren für den Einsatz des PPM herausgearbeitet (Forschungsfrage 1). Im Anschluss daran wird die Frage beantwortet, welche funktionalen Kriterien für die Bewertung von PPM-Softwarelösungen herangezogen werden können (Forschungsfrage 2). Nach der Betrachtung des PPM als Beispiel für die inkrementelle Prozessverbesserung durch die Überwachung und Steuerung der Prozessleistung werden danach Möglichkeiten für die Unterstützung des BPM durch den Einsatz von Enterprise Social Media untersucht . Die Untersuchung berücksichtigt hierbei sowohl interne als auch externe Stakeholder. Für die Verbesserung der internen Kollaboration werden Enterprise Social Networks als eine Form von ESM untersucht (Forschungsfrage 3). Die Einbeziehung externer Stakeholder wird beispielhaft durch die Betrachtung einer Nutzungsmöglichkeit für die Auswertung der Kundenkommunikation in Online Social Networks (OSN) untersucht (Forschungsfrage 4). Zudem erfolgt eine Betrachtung von Möglichkeiten, die nationale Kultur aus Prozessmodellen abzuleiten (Forschungsfrage 5). Abschließend zeigt die Arbeit auf, wie die praktische Umsetzung eines Werkzeugs zur Unterstützung der Prozessmodellierung im BPM durch die Nutzung neuer Technologien gestaltet werden kann (Forschungsfrage 6).</abstract>

<title>BPM Adoption in Small and Medium-sized Companies in Bavaria</title>
<abstract>Small and medium sized (SMEs) companies are a pillar of the Bavarian economy. With business process management (BPM) providing an important competitive advantage in the globalized economy, the adap-tion of BPM by SMEs has societal relevance. However, the reasons why, or why not, SMEs implement BPM measures are still not fully understood. Previous research addressed this topic either breadthwise as surveys or in depth as case studies, and thus only has a limited perspective. Therefore, in our work, we carry out a mixed method analysis.
We conduct 10 case studies to analyse the current state of adoption as well as the reasons for or against implementing further BPM measures. The insights gained guide the design of the subsequent survey. 114 results allow us to evaluate how widespread a particular reason may be. Lastly, the combined discussion of the results of both the case studies and surveys allow us to identify reasons that hinder or foster BPM adoption in SMEs, which are in-depth as well as generalizable.
The study results are analyzed to derive propositions to research and practitioners alike that support SMEs to introduce further measures of BPM and improve their global competitiveness. For example, we could identify that BPM is in some cases enforced by customers, that stricter certifications are nec-essary, and that BPM trainings aligned to the needs of SMEs are desirable.</abstract>

<title>Assessing the accuracy of sentiment analysis of social media posts at small and medium-sized enterprises in Southern Germany</title>
<abstract>In recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have increasingly adopted Social Media technologies with the purpose of fostering the bidirectional communication with customers or to facili-tate the collaboration between employees amongst each other. Thereby, customer posts in a company’s Social Media channels capture consumers’ current attitude towards product and service offerings or the enterprise as a whole. An automatic analysis of these posts does not only provide a firm with valuable knowledge on the customer relationship, but also frees up human resources in case the posts were screened by employees manually hitherto. However, posts in Social Media channels of SMEs are char-acterized by certain peculiarities such as regional slang or off-topic discussions amongst others. The study at hand investigates the impact of such characteristics on the accuracy of results received from an automatic sentiment analysis of corresponding posts. In this context, we revert to Social Media posts of five SMEs from southern Germany. The results show that an adaption of approaches used for senti-ment analysis to the specific language of customers and firms is mandatory for achieving a high level of accuracy.</abstract>

<title>Applying Evaluations While Building the Artifact - Experiences from the Development of Process Model Complexity Metrics</title>
<abstract>The  Design  Science  Research  method  is  decisive  for  the  quality  of  the  resulting  solution.  Thus,  many  discussions focus the evaluation of the solution at the end  of  the  Design  Science  cycle.  But  design,  implementation  and  evaluation  of  artifacts  are  laborious  and need to be repeated if the artifact does not meet the evaluation criteria. Thus, recent works have proposed  to  conduct  additional
evaluations  early  in  the  Design Science process to po
ssibly reduce the number of repetitions of the research process. However, such early evaluations may also be an unnecessary burden.
Therefore, this work presents a case where these additional  evaluations  are  applied  ex-post  in  a  practical  research project which developed process model complexity metrics and the outcomes are compared. Once compared,  benefits  and  limitations  of  early  evaluations are discussed.</abstract>

<title>A Knowledge Perspective on Big Data by Joining Enterprise Modeling and Data Analyses</title>
<abstract>In this paper we discuss how knowledge management can contribute to the analysis of big data by joining enterprise modeling methods with data analyses. The goal of this approach is to enable the seamless interaction and exchange of information between knowledge-oriented representations as provided by enterprise modeling on the one hand and methods for analyzing data on the other hand. For the realization of the approach we revert to techniques of metamodeling. These permit to describe the necessary extensions of enterprise modeling methods and implement them as IT-based tools using metamodeling platforms. For evaluating the feasibility of our approach we describe a generic implementation using the ADOxx metamodeling platform and the R toolkit. In addition, we discuss the application to a use case from the area of business process improvement and the according implementation within the ADOxx-based RUPERT tool.</abstract>

<title>Evaluating Business Process Improvement Patterns by Simulation</title>
<abstract>Existing approaches for business process improvement often lack systematic guidelines to transform a business process into an enhanced state, which we refer to as the “act of improvement”. To close this gap, a pattern-based approach has been designed and developed in previous works. In this paper, the usefulness of “Business Process Improvement Patterns” (BPI-Patterns) as a means of improving business processes is analyzed. For this purpose, a simulation experiment is performed in which several BPI-Patterns are applied to evaluate whether their anticipated effects can be confirmed for real-life business processes. From the analysis of the simulation results, i.e. how the application of BPI-Patterns affects the business processes, we investigate enabling as well as hindering factors that influence the implementation of BPI-Patterns. These factors may serve as a means to further specify instances of BPI-Patterns and also contribute to the overall evaluation of the BPI-Pattern approach.</abstract>

<title>Analysing the Contribution of Coupling Metrics for the Development and Management of Process Architectures</title>
<abstract>Currently, the development and modeling of enterprise architectures is an intensively discussed topic in both science and practice. Process architectures represent a core element in recent enterprise architecture frameworks. With process models being a central means for communicating and documenting the process architectures, both their quality and understandability are decisive. However, the concept of process model quality is still not fully understood. The recent development has highlighted the role of coupling in models. Coupling is expected to represent an important dimension of quality for conceptual models. Still, this perspective is hardly understood and its definition vague. Therefore, this work collects diverse coupling interpretations in the field of process modelling and integrates them to a common and precise definition. Once introduced and formally specified, the metrics serve as a basis for a discussion on coupling and on how the future development in respect to coupling could look like. The main findings are that currently metrics evaluate either the documentation of the process architecture regarding its understandability or they contribute to the individual applications of process architectures. These findings support practitioners selecting metrics for a particular task and scientists to identify research gaps for further development.</abstract>

<title>A Prototype for Supporting Novices in Collaboration Business Process Modeling Using a Tablet Device</title>
<abstract>Business process modeling is a decisive task as process models prepare the ground for business transformation and process improvement initiatives. However, modeling projects fall short of their initial aim when process participants are not involved in the act of model creation. The employees’ individual process knowledge has been recognized as a crucial success factor to define high-quality process models that reflect a company’s working procedures correctly. This paper introduces a prototype supporting collaborative modeling of business processes on tablet devices aimed at process modeling novices.</abstract>

<title>Codification of Knowledge in Business Process Improvement Projects</title>
<abstract>In times of globalization, new technologies and high market transparency, companies search for ways to raise the efficiency of their business processes and achieve long-term customer relationships. Therefore enterprises are strongly devoted to business process improvement (BPI) initiatives. However, in times of globally spanning inter-organizational business processes, conducting BPI initiatives is particularly challenging due to the necessary diverse and distributed knowledge. Successful BPI projects require the participation of a variety of employees who are directly involved in a business process. The employees have tacit process knowledge that needs to be transformed into explicit knowledge to derive improvement opportunities in a BPI project. To reach this, a set of easy to understand and well-structured BPI techniques is required to encourage employees to participate in corresponding initiatives. Further, the codification of the results gained in such initiatives is decisive to enable their proper documentation, communication and processing.
The paper at hand introduces a BPI roadmap for coordinating the structured use of BPI techniques in a project. The roadmap is based upon a set of formal conceptual model types for codifying the results generated by each technique. In addition, reports are specified that process the model information and facilitate the communication and documentation of the results. The presented approach thus contributes to the systematic transformation of employees’ tacit process knowledge to explicit knowledge in the course of BPI initiatives. By applying the roadmap in a use case, its benefits for BPI initiatives are illustrated.</abstract>

<title>Developing the Evaluation of a Pattern-Based Approach for Business Process Improvement</title>
<abstract>The evaluation of design science (DS) artifacts is a frequently discussed research issue, and many approaches have been developed for this DS activity. However, it is often stated that these approaches only provide rudimentary support for determining the appropriate evaluation methods for an individual DS project. In this paper, an evaluation method for a Business Process Improvement (BPI) pattern approach, which is currently under development, is elaborated. For that purpose, findings from reviewing relevant literature as well as general DS evaluation criteria are investigated to derive an evaluation method for the BPI pattern approach.</abstract>

<title>Implementing Six Sigma for Improving Business Processes at an Automotive Bank</title>
<abstract>Today, in the eyes of both customers and suppliers, product-related financial services take an eminent position. This does also apply to the automotive industry and its financial service providers (e.g. automotive banks). As a consequence, quality management and especially business process improvement methods (e.g. Six Sigma) attract growing attention in financial services. Above all, the Six Sigma approach is being increasingly discussed in both literature and practice. This chapter is the result of the prototypical implementation of Six Sigma at an automotive bank; the focus is on the selection and the combination of quality techniques used at an automotive bank which are the crucial points of the successful implementation.</abstract>

<title>RUPERT: A Modelling Tool for Supporting Business Process Improvement Initiatives</title>
<abstract>Business process improvement (BPI) will be a high priority topic for CEOs in the near future. Currently available BPI approaches, however, lack means for adequately codifying, documenting and processing knowledge created in a BPI project. Therefore we developed RUPERT (Regensburg University Process Excellence and Reengineering Toolkit), which is a tool for managing knowledge in a BPI project, covering all stages of the knowledge lifecycle. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of RUPERT.</abstract>

<title>Testing the Impact of Wand and Weber's Decomposition Model on Process Model Understandability</title>
<abstract>Process modeling is becoming increasingly important for business process management initiatives. However, for being able to exploit the benefits associated with business process modeling the process models need to be understandable for its users. It has been shown in literature that the growing size of a process model has a negative effect on its understandability. Decomposition is a means for splitting large process models into smaller subprocess models to increase the understandability. However, it is still unclear what properties characterize a good decomposition, while generally accepted guidelines on decomposing process models are missing. We analyze Wand and Weber’s good decomposition model as an approach for creating decomposed process models that are easy to understand. The paper at hand investigates in how far the decomposition conditions influence the understandability of a process model. Using an experiment we show that the decomposition conditions actually do have a positive influence on model understandability.</abstract>

<title>Wand and Webers's good decomposition conditions for BPMN: An interpretation and differences to Event-Driven Process Chains</title>
<abstract>Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to specify the decomposition conditions of Wand and Weber for the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). Therefore, an interpretation of the conditions for BPMN is derived and compared to a specification of the conditions for enhanced Event-Driven Process Chains (eEPCs). Based on these results, guidelines for a conformance check of BPMN and eEPC models with the decomposition conditions are shown. Further, guidelines for decomposition are formulated for BPMN models. The usability of the decomposition guidelines is tested with modelling experts.
Design/methodology/approach – An approach building on a representational mapping is used for specifying the decomposition conditions. Therefore, ontological constructs of the Bunge-Wand-Weber ontology are mapped to corresponding modelling constructs and an interpretation of the decomposition conditions for BPMN is derived. Guidelines for a conformance check are then defined. Based on these results, decomposition guidelines are formulated. Their usability is tested in interviews.
Findings – The research shows that the decomposition conditions stemming from the information systems discipline can be transferred to business process modelling. However, the interpretation of the decomposition conditions depends on specific characteristics of a modelling language. Based on a thorough specification of the conditions, it is possible to derive guidelines for a conformance check of process models with the conditions. In addition, guidelines for decomposition are developed and tested. In the study, these are perceived as understandable and helpful by experts.
Research limitations/implications – Research approaches based on representational mappings are subjected to subjectivity. However, by having three researchers performing the approach independently, subjectivity can be mitigated. Further, only ten experts participated in the usability test, which is therefore to be considered as a first step in a more comprising evaluation.
Practical implications – This paper provides the process modeller with guidelines enabling a conformance check of BPMN and eEPC process models with the decomposition conditions. Further, guidelines for decomposing BPMN models are introduced.
Originality/value – This paper is the first to specify Wand and Weber's decomposition conditions for process modelling with BPMN. A comparison to eEPCs shows, that the ontological expressiveness influences the interpretation of the conditions. Further, guidelines for decomposing BPMN models as well as for checking their adherence to the decomposition conditions are presented.</abstract>

<title>Konzeption und Evaluation eines Ansatzes zur Methodenintegration im Qualitätsmanagement</title>
<abstract>Angesichts der Vielzahl existierender Qualitätsmanagementmethoden stellt sich für Qualitätsverantwortliche verstärkt die Frage, mittels welcher Methoden sich die angestrebten Qualitätsziele erreichen lassen. Oftmals finden in der unternehmerischen Praxis mehrere Ansätze gleichzeitig Anwendung (z. B. Six Sigma und EFQM), ein Umstand, dem einzelne Unternehmensmitarbeiter häufig ablehnend gegenüberstehen. So ist der parallele Einsatz mehrerer Verfahren meist mit erheblichem Koordinationsaufwand verbunden, wobei die erhofften Ergebnisse in vielen Fällen ausbleiben. Die Integration heterogener Verfahren bietet einen Ansatz, um der Methodenvielfalt im Qualitätsmanagement entgegenzutreten. Allerdings fehlt es an Handlungsanweisungen, wie sich mehrere Qualitätsmanagementmethoden zielgerichtet kombinieren lassen. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt sich dieser Problemstellung an und entwickelt einen Integrationsansatz für Qualitätsmanagementmethoden. Dabei werden dem Anwender Techniken an die Hand gegeben, mittels derer er die Integration unterschiedlicher Qualitätsmanagementansätze systematisch durchführen kann, um letztlich einen Mehrwert für den Anwender zu schaffen.</abstract>

<title>Wand and Weber’s Decomposition Model in the Context of Business Process Modeling</title>
<abstract>Whereas the benefits of decomposing process models are obvious, the question what actually characterizes a "good" decomposition of a business process model has been given little attention to date. In addition, the process of decomposition itself is considered as being an "art" in literature. Our approach for achieving a "good" decomposition is Wand and Weber's decomposition model for information systems. As a first step in our investigation we aim to explore in how far the decomposition model can be adapted for business process modeling at all. The potential this modelmight bear for evaluating decompositions of process models has been promoted in literature quite often, while a corresponding investigation is still missing. We address this gap by the following research. In the long term, we intend to establish guidelines for decomposing business process models in a structured way.</abstract>

<title>Research Process Management</title>
<abstract>Though the value of a process-centred view for the understanding and (re-)design of corporations has been widely accepted, our understanding of the research process in Information Systems (IS) remains superficial. A process-centred view on IS research considers the conduct of a research project as a sequence of activities involving resources, data and research artifacts. As such, it helps to reflect on more effective ways to conduct IS research, to consolidate and compare diverse practices and to complement the focus on research methodologies with research project practices. This paper takes a first step towards the discipline of ‘Research Process Management’ by exploring the features of research processes and by presenting a preliminary approach for research process design that can facilitate modelling IS research. The case study method and the design science research method are used as examples to demonstrate the potential of such reference research process models.</abstract>

<title>Scenario-based Methods for Integrating Automatically Mined and Manually Constructed Process Models to Support the Development of an As-is Process Architecture</title>
<abstract>The development and modeling of an as-is process architecture is seen as an important subject in both science and practice. Despite the development of a great amount of methods for process modeling and algorithms for process mining, in practice, there are still problems regarding their implementation. By integrating automatically mined and manually constructed
process models, the quality of process architectures can be enhanced. It is only the execution of the integration that is still a subject for research. This thesis aims at developing scenario-based methods for integrating automatically mined and manually constructed process models.</abstract>

<title>Integration automatisch generierter und manuell konstruierter Prozessmodelle</title>
<abstract>Die Modellierung von Prozessen wird als wichtiges Aufgabengebiet in Wissenschaft und Praxis gesehen. Obwohl zahlreiche Methoden zur manuellen Prozessmodellierung und Algorithmen zum Process Mining entwickelt wurden, bestehen immer noch Probleme bei der praktischen Anwendung. Ein Ansatz diesen Problemen zu begegnen, besteht in der Integration manuell konstruierter und automatisch generierter Prozessmodelle. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Korrektheit des Modells erhöhen sowie der Erstellungs- bzw. Aktualisierungsaufwand reduzieren. Die Durchführung der Integration manuell konstruierter und automatisch generierter Prozessmodelle ist noch Gegenstand der Forschung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden deshalb der Integrationsvorgang analysiert, Einflussfaktoren identifiziert, Ansatzpunkte zur systematischen Durchführung der Integration aufgezeigt und ein erster Ansatz zur Integration auf Basis eines Fallbeispiels entwickelt.</abstract>

<title>Integration von automatisch generierten und manuell konstruierten Prozessmodellen als Grundlage für den Aufbau einer Prozessarchitektur</title>
<abstract>Die systematische Entwicklung und Modellierung der Unternehmensarchitektur wird von der Praxis wie auch der Wissenschaft als ein bedeutendes aber auch umfassendes Aufgabengebiet angesehen. Der vorliegende Beitrag greift die Modellierung der Prozessarchitektur im Ist-Zustand als Themenstellungen heraus und begründet, dass durch Integration von manuell konstruierten und automatisch generierten Modellen die Aktualität, Korrektheit und Vollständigkeit der Architektur erhöht und der Aktualisierungsaufwand reduziert werden kann.
Das Ziel des Beitrags ist es, Herausforderungen der Integration von manuell konstruierten und automatisch generierten Prozessmodellen zu untersuchen sowie Ansätze zur Lösung zu geben. Hierzu werden die beiden Modellierungsansätze (manuelle Konstruktion und automatische Generierung) vorgestellt und die Vorteilhaftigkeit der Integration sowie ihr Beitrag im Rahmen der Unternehmensarchitektur begründet. Darüber hinaus werden Herausforderungen bei der Integration identifiziert und deren Grundlagen in einem Morphologischen Kasten zusammengestellt. Die Analyse bestehender Ansätze zeigt, dass keine der untersuchten Methoden die Problemstellung vollständig lösen kann. Darüber hinaus wird für ein ausgewähltes Integrationsszenario ein erster Ansatz entwickelt.</abstract>

<title>Six Sigma as a Business Process Management Method in Services: Analysis of the Key Application Problems</title>
<abstract>Apart from being applied in production, Six Sigma has grown considerably in importance as a business process management (BPM) method in services. The transfer of the method from production to service applications does, however, pose problems which affect the success of implementing Six Sigma as a BPM method in services. For a successful application of the Six Sigma method in services it is helpful to know these possible problems in order to be able to avoid them and to achieve the goals of Six Sigma improvement projects. In addition from a theoretical view knowing the problems is a first step for further development of the Six Sigma method. Therefore, the present article deals with the following questions: which key problems regarding the application of Six Sigma in services are mentioned in the literature and which phases of the Six Sigma cycle can they be assigned to? The existing literature on this subject is reviewed and a qualitative content analysis of its contents is presented. Additionally, a survey based on the problems found in the literature is conducted to compare theory and practice. The evaluation of the results shows, on the one hand, that to date the problems of the application of Six Sigma in services have little been dealt with. On the other hand the evaluation provides a survey of the problems structured in accordance to the phases of the Six Sigma cycle. Thus, the present paper offers new findings as regards the state-of-the-art of the Six Sigma method.</abstract>

<title>A Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions</title>
<abstract>Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a proposed Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions of goods and services. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper follows the principles of design research in developing a Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions. The approach is tested in practice in the context of a financial services company in the automotive industry. Findings The study demonstrates that the differential characteristics of service processes and manufacturing processes must be taken into account when developing a Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions. Evaluation of the proposed approach in cooperation with a financial services company reveals considerable benefits. Research limitations/implications The detailed description of the approach is limited to the "Define" phase of the Six Sigma program. Moreover, the proposed approach is tested in only one setting; its application in other settings should be an objective for future research. Practical implications The paper provides practitioners with a structured Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions. Originality/value The paper is the first to propose a Six Sigma approach for integrated solutions of goods and services.</abstract>

<title>The process map as an instrument to standardize processes: design and application at a financial service provider</title>
<abstract>The standardization of processes and the identification of shared business services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) are currently widely discussed. Above all in practice, however, there still is a lack of appropriate instruments to support these tasks. In this paper an approach for a process map is introduced which allows for a systematic presentation-as complete as possible-of the processes in an enterprise (division). After a consistent refinement of the process has taken place by means of aggregation/disaggregation respectively, generalization/specialization relations, it is possible to identify primarily functional similarities of the detailed sub-processes. The application of the process map at a financial service provider (FSP) highlights how these similarities can be taken as a basis to standardize processes and to identify shared services.</abstract>

<title>Identifizierung und Gestaltung neuer CRM-Prozesse</title>
<abstract>Das Management von Kundenbeziehungen (Customer Relationship Management, CRM) stellt einen zentralen Erfolgsfaktor für Unternehmen dar. In diesem Zusammenhang ergeben sich u. a. folgende Problembereiche: Zum einen ist es notwendig, die relevanten Prozesse des Kundenbeziehungsmanagements zu identifizieren. Zum anderen ist es erforderlich, diese Prozesse an den jeweiligen Kundentyp anzupassen, um so ein effizientes Kundenbeziehungsmanagement zu ermöglichen. Der Beitrag greift diese Problembereiche auf und stellt einen Ansatz zur Identifizierung neuer, beziehungsorientierter Prozesse vor, der auf den Konstrukten »generische Aktivitäten«, »Kundenlebenszyklus« und »Kundenmotive« basiert. Am Beispiel des »aufgeklärten Kundentyps« wird der Rückgewinnungsprozess näher erläutert, und der im Beitrag vorgeschlagene Ansatz wird anhand eines Praxisbeispiels veranschaulicht. Die dargestellte Vorgehensweise ermöglicht es nicht nur – wie es häufig der Fall ist –, die Unternehmenssicht einzubeziehen, sondern auch die Kundensicht beim Management von Beziehungen zu berücksichtigen. Zudem wird gezeigt, wie generische Strukturen die Identifizierung von Abläufen unterstützen können und wie durch Spezialisierung der generischen Prozesse (auf einen bestimmten Kundentyp) konkrete Handlungsanweisungen abgeleitet werden können.</abstract>

<title>Selektion von Qualitätstechniken und -werkzeugen bei der Six Sigma Einführung - am Beispiel einer Automobilbank</title>
<abstract>Produktbegleitende Finanzdienstleistungen nehmen heutzutage sowohl in den Augen der Kunden als auch der Anbieter einen sehr hohen Stellenwert ein. Dies trifft auch auf die Automobilwirtschaft zu. Damit wird dem Qualitätsmanagement bei Finanzdienstleistungen wachsende Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Vor allem der Six Sigma Ansatz wird in Literatur und Praxis seit geraumer Zeit verstärkt diskutiert. Der folgende Beitrag entstand im Rahmen einer prototypischen Einführung von Six Sigma bei einer Automobilbank und adressiert die Selektion bzw. Kombination einzusetzender Qualitätstechniken und -werkzeuge, einen Kernpunkt der erfolgreichen Implementierung.</abstract>

<title>Gestaltung hybrider Wertschöpfung mittels Architekturen - Analyse am Beispiel des Business Engineering</title>
<abstract>Mehr denn je sind Unternehmen im zunehmenden Wettbewerb dazu gezwungen, Differenzierungsstrategien zu etablieren. Die Generierung innovativer Leistungsbündel bestehend aus materiellen und immateriellen Leistungsbestandteilen ist eine solche Strategie und wird als „hybride Wertschöpfung" bezeichnet. Um Unternehmen bei ihrer Veränderung zum hybriden Lösungsanbieter zu unterstützen, werden Vorgehensweisen und Techniken benötigt, welche in eine formgebende Struktur eingebettet sind. Architekturen sind solche Hilfsmittel, die eine strukturierte Veränderung von Unternehmen unterstützen können. Die Zielsetzung des Beitrags ist es zu identifizieren, welche Anforderungen an eine Architektur für hybride Wertschöpfung zu stellen sind und inwieweit die Architektur des St. Galler Business Engineering diese Anforderungen erfüllt.
The increasing competition forces enterprises to establish differentiation strategies more than ever. The creation of innovative bundles, consisting of material and immaterial elements, is such a strategy and known as "hybrid value creation". In order to support enterprises during their change towards a hybrid solution supplier, procedures and techniques are needed which are embedded in a certain structure. Architecture Frameworks can support such a structured transformation of enterprises. The intention of the paper is to identify requirements for architectures for hybrid value creation and to check these requirements by using the St. Gallen Business Engineering Framework.</abstract>

<title>An attempt to design and model activities for student retention</title>
<abstract>Customer retention is an important and frequent topic within marketing activities and research. Concepts are commonly used in private enterprises. However, it is only recently that Universities started to apply these concepts. In this regard, the increasing competition among Universities and the pressure to offer profitable courses increased the importance of student retention even further. In order to address some current challenges of student retention, this paper outlines an attempt to design and model activities that allow to obtain student retention by considering the needs and relationship values of the students.</abstract>

<title>Evaluation of Current Architecture Frameworks</title>
<abstract>With the growing importance of enterprise architecture the
discussion about how to create or choose the right enterprise
architecture framework for a specific organization arose quickly.ut it is not only a question of choosing the right framework forescribing or developing an enterprise architecture. It is moremportant to discover whether the chosen architecture framework meets the defined requirements or not. In this paper, we describe which requirements currently existing architecture frameworks should meet to constitute a useful procedure that enables to develop, describe and keep up an enterprise architecture. Our evaluation of current frameworks shows their lacks and identifies further improvement.</abstract>

<title>Modell für die Er folgsmessung von Wissensmanagementsystemen</title>
<abstract>With the advent of modern information and communication technologies the discussion about organisational learning and knowledge management has found its technological counterpart: knowledge management systems (KMS). KMS are seen as enabling technologies for an effective and especially an efficient knowledge management. Knowledge management initiatives comprise a combined application of KMS, organisational and person-oriented instruments which consider the organisation's culture and promise mise competitive advantages or improved capabilities to develop and apply organisational (core) competencies. There have been a number of corresponding success stories published in the literature. However, up to date organisations still face the challenge to measure or evaluate the success of the application of KMS. This paper proposes a framework for precisely this task. We used existing approaches to measure success of information systems and transferred them to KMS. Additionally, we integrated contributions from the knowledge management literature as well as results of an empirical analysis about the application of KMS in German speaking countries. The resulting model presents a list of measures to assess the success of KMS. The applicability of the model is discussed using two ideal KMS architectures as well as a case study of a software house that already applies KMS. Organisations can use the model as a pool to select measures from which can be applied for concrete KMS evaluations. From a research-oriented perspective the model is useful to generate hypotheses about relationships between goals and application scenarios of KMS and the resulting success.</abstract>

<title>Nutzung generischer Produktmodelle im Finanzdienstleistungsbereich am Beispiel des Ergebniscontrolling</title>
<abstract>Es wird das Konzept eines generischen Produktmodells für Finanzdienstleister beschrieben und die Nutzung für ein Ergebniscontrolling am Beispiel der Schadensversicherung vorgestellt.
- offener Varianten erlaubt eine übersichtliche Repräsentation und einfache Strukturierung komplexer Produktstrukturen. Zur Übertragung auf Finanzdienstleistungen wird das Konzept um zusätzliche Abstraktionsmechanismen erweitert.
- Durch "inverse" Nutzung eines Produktmodells werden Informationen eines konkreten Produkts (z.B. Profitabilitätsinformationen) auf allgemeine Merkmale des zugrundeliegenden Produkttyps (z.B. Zahlungsweise, Tarif, Selbstbehalt) zurückgeführt.
- Die zugrundeliegende dreistufige Variantenstruktur (Produkt – Merkmal – Ausprägung) kann auf unterschiedlichem Abstraktionsniveau wiederverwendet werden. Sie dient damit als Basis einer formalen Abgrenzung der Aufgabenbereiche des zentralen und bereichsbezogenen Versicherungscontrollings.</abstract>
