Organization and Business Environment Collaborative Model to Increase the Innovation Capacity

Abstract

The research aims to identify a modern Business Process Management solution to simulate integrated coordination mechanisms with impact on organization’s innovation. From a scientific and socio-economic perspective, the article is aligned with the European innovation trend that supports organizations' preoccupation to introduce innovation and upgrading processes, technologies and business models. The issues that the author has identified and sought to find answers are to identify that mild method of Business Process Management that can be correlated with the dimensions of organizational innovation in areas such as: the organization's infrastructure, partnership between business members, innovation "inside". The second issue is to limit current approaches by analyzing the current state of knowledge. The research has been included within the boundaries of modeling and simulation of business process flows with impact on organizational innovation vectors. Thus, the paper proposes and presents a set of integrated processes of collaboration between the organization and the business environment using Business Process Management as an integrated coordination mechanism of the organization's innovation

Detecting Data Flow Errors Across Processes in Business Process Collaboration

“…where Di is the set of data items defined or used in BPi. In this definition, (1) shows that BPC is composed of several BPs, which are parallel in the form of composition. This means that BPC is a modular and loose structure, which is convenient for composition and configuration on demand.…”

“…Secondly (transformation step), it has to accurately define output data where the content data of message should be extracted to. According to (1), data needs to be defined or redefined. The receiving node has to extract the content data of message to its output data (i.e., write operation).…”

“…In Figure 2, the task of node 1 (Send Travel Request Send(Customer)) is to send a message to travel agency process. It uses the data items of Input (1) to fill in the content data (ContentSet(1)) and correlation data (CorrelationSet(1)). Then, the Node 2 (Receive Offer  Receive(Customer)) receives a message from travel agency process.…”

“…With the development of business globalization, business process collaboration (BPC) among organizations has become more and more complex and frequent [1]. Meanwhile, the booming of BPaaS (Business Process as a Service) has facilitated the development and deployment of such service-based BPC [2].…”

“…In summary, we make three primary contributions: (1) We propose a formal method to detect data flow errors across processes, which is mainly applicable to message communication and data exchange in BPC. It focuses on a subset of the elements of the BPC model (e.g., sending/receiving nodes, messages, and exchanged data), without having to consider the complete set.…”
