Continued use of process modeling grammars : the impact of individual difference factors

Recker, Jan C. - 2010

Process modeling grammars are used by analysts to describe information systems domains in terms of the business operations an organization is conducting. While prior research has examined the factors that lead to continued usage behavior, little knowledge has been established as to what extent...

How Novices Model Business Processes

Recker, Jan C.; Safrudin, Norizan; Rosemann, Michael - 2010

In this paper, we examine the design of business process diagrams in contexts where novice analysts only have basic design tools such as paper and pencils available, and little to no understanding of formalized modeling approaches. Based on a quasi-experimental study with 89 BPM students, we...

Explaining usage of process modeling grammars : comparing three theoretical models in the study of two grammars

Recker, Jan C. - 2010

Our objective was to determine the factors that lead users to continue working with process modeling grammars after their initial adoption. We examined the explanatory power of three theoretical models of IT usage by applying them to two popular process modeling grammars. We found that a hybrid...

Value-oriented process modeling : integrating financial perspectives into business process re-design

vom Brocke, Jan; Recker, Jan C.; Mendling, Jan - 2010

Purpose ? Financial information about costs and return on investments are of key importance to strategic decision-making but also in the context of process improvement or business engineering. In this paper we propose a value-oriented approach to business process modeling based on key concepts...

Formative and reflective measurement and validation mismatch in survey research : an archival analysis of information systems success constructs 1985-2007

Gable, Guy G.; Sedera, Darshana - 2009

The generic IS-success constructs first identified by DeLone and McLean (1992) continue to be widely employed in research. Yet, recent work by Petter et al (2007) has cast doubt on the validity of many mainstream constructs employed in IS research over the past 3 decades; critiquing the almost...

Configurable reference modeling languages

Recker, Jan C.; Rosemann, Michael; van der Aalst, Wil M.P. - 2009

This chapter discusses reference modelling languages for business systems analysis and design. In particular, it reports on reference models in the context of the design-for/by-reuse paradigm, explains how traditional modelling techniques fail to provide adequate conceptual expressiveness to...

Business process modeling : a comparative analysis

Recker, Jan C.; Rosemann, Michael; Indulska, Marta; … - 2009

Many business process modeling techniques have been proposed over the last decades, creating a demand for theory to assist in the comparison and evaluation of these techniques. A widely established way of determining the effectiveness and efficiency of modeling techniques is by way of...

Conceptual modelling using domain ontologies: Improving the domain-specific quality of conceptual schemas

GAILLY, F.; POELS, G. - Faculteit Economie en Bedrijfskunde, Universiteit Gent - 2009

conceptual modelling are top-level ontologies that specify conceptualizations of the real-world in general and are not restricted … intended by schema users. In this paper an additional step is taken towards true ontology-based conceptual modelling by using …-based conceptual modelling, enables the reuse of domain-specific knowledge. The application of domain ontologies to conceptual schema …
