New technologies, notably service-oriented architectures and Web services, are enabling a third wave of business process management (BPM). Supporters claim that BPM is informed by complexity theory and that business processes can evolve and adapt to changing business circumstances. It is suggested by BPM adherents that the business/IT divide will be obliterated through a process-centric approach to systems development. The evolution of BPM and its associated technologies are explored and then coevolutionary theory is used to understand the business/IT relationship. Specifically, Kauffman's NKC model is applied to a business process ecosystem to bring out the implications of coevolution for the theory and practice of BPM and for the relationship between business and IT. The paper argues that a wider view of the business process ecosystem is needed to take account of the social perspective as well as the human/non-human dimension.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the current business process management (BPM) maturity models meet the requirements of evaluating organizations in the knowledge economy (KE) which manage processes in a dynamic way. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a content analysis of the OMG (2008) Business Process Maturity Model and ten research papers on the practical application of business process management maturity models was conducted. The nature of the study is descriptive and based solely on information from secondary data sources. Findings The research results reveal that the current BPM maturity models do not correspond with the knowledge-based organizations and take into account knowledge-intensive (usually dynamic) processes in a very limited way. That is why the adaptation of the current BPM maturity models to the KE is needed. Originality/value This paper contributes to the BPM theory and practice in two ways. First, it provides an enhanced insight into the requirements of the KE toward BPM and BPM maturity models by distinguishing between static and dynamic processes. Second, it formulates the recommendations on possible ways of adapting the current BPM maturity models to the requirements of the KE.

The purpose of research – analysis and assessment of competitive advantages of modeling projects company activities in the framework of the concept Business Process Management. The methodology is based on an expert-statistical approach, allowing to consider qualitative factors of efficiency of projects of business modeling, the uncertainty of the market environment functioning of the company and to perform the simulation of the incoming revenues from the project.The results of the study include the methodology of evaluating the economic efficiency of the project systems Business Process Management taking into account the variety of factors. The distribution obtained during the simulation of the efficiency factors allow us to expand our understanding about the possible course of the process. Subsequent selection of scenarios takes into account the risks of the project for companies to make a more informed conclusion. For the first time in the theory and practice of economic evaluation of projects developed unified methodology for the quality factors of effectiveness and uncertainty of the environment of business systems. Its application is not limited to the subject area.
