Purpose – In today's height of competition, business process management (BPM) is regarded as best practice management principle that can assist companies in sustaining competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper is to strengthen theory building of BPM in fostering sustainable competitive advantage based on dynamic capability theory. Design/methodology/approach – BPM owes its existence to total quality management (TQM) and business process reengineering and has gained importance as an enabler to coordinate the intricacies of the organisations. Past researches on BPM have been largely conceptual using case studies with scarce evidence for theory building. Findings – Based on the review of literature, the study of BPM can be studied based on dynamic capability theory. Originality/value – The outcome of this paper would add value to theory building for BPM.

Abstract Under the conditions of ever-increasing competition in the market, companies can reach a competitive advantage only with flexible offer of quality superior and cheaper products/services. In order to achieve this, companies must carry out innovative and effective business processes and manage them appropriately. In this regard, it is important to identify the factors that may be considered critical for improving business process management. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse key business process management factors, on the example of the electronic industry. The research results show that the factors that are usually accepted as the most important for increasing the maturity of business process management are not recognised as dominant in the electronic industry. One of the findings of the survey reveals, as the main lagging factors, four of the six most important factors for the successful implementation of business processes. Based on results of the research, Managing employees has been detected as the most important maturity factor for companies from the electronic industry; hence, the suggestion is further improvement within this field.

Business Process Management or BPM is the blueprint of how work is performed in any organisation to deliver customer requirements. Sustainable Competitive Advantage or SCA pushes organisations to adopt flexibility and dynamism into their systems, processes and culture. A study was carried out to determine the influence of BPM on SCA, and to identify the antecedents of BPM in creating SCA. One of the antecedents’ of the study was IT capability. The study was based on organisations in Malaysia. The results from the study revealed that IT capability failed to observe significant relationship to BPM and SCA. In an attempt to understand further this phenomenon, a series of interviews were carried out on 3 companies representing the telecommunications, consulting and manufacturing industries. The findings revealed that while IT capability is a “must-have”, there are numerous factors that may influence or hinder the effectiveness of IT capability implementation.
