A process model is very often used for system analysis, design and management in various application areas. Using a process model has the advantage that it has only to be as precise as necessary within the parameters of the individual field of application, whereas the precision externally is...

This book presents theoretical and practical contributions to the modelling of business processes. Business Process Modelling is a key success issue for today's companies and organizations. It was realized that significant improvements may result as a consequence of careful analysis and redesign...

The intention of this article is to show possible contributions of the concept of autonomous cooperation to enable complex adaptive logistics systems (CALS) to cope with increasing complexity and dynamics and therefore to increase the systems' information-processing capacity by implementing...

Identifikation von Anforderungen an ein Messinstrument für Dynamic Capabilities -- Terminologische Basis eines Messinstruments -- Vorgehensweise zur Entwicklung eines Messinstruments für spezielle Dynamic Capabilities.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze whether supply networks may be validly treated as complex adaptive systems (CAS). Finding this to be true, the paper turns into the latest concerns of complexity science like Pareto distributions to explain well‐known phenomena of...
