A new business process model which is multi-role, multi-dimensional, integrated and dynamic is proposed relying on inter-organizational collaboration. Compatible with the traditional linear sequence model, the new model is an M x N multi-dimensional mesh, and provides horizontal and vertical formal descriptions for the collaboration business process model. Finally, the pi-calculus theory is utilized to verify the deadlocks, livelocks and synchronization of the example models. The result shows that the proposed approach is efficient and applicable in inter-organizational business process modeling.展开更多

Based on the traditional methods of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analytical hierarchical process (AHP), a hybrid model called DEA/AHP model is proposed to deal with the evaluation of business process performance. With the proposed method, the DEA is firstly used to develop a pairwise comparison matrix, and then the AHP is applied to evaluate the performance of business process using the pairwise comparison matrix. The significant advantage of this hybrid model is the use of objective data instead of subjective human judgment for performance evaluation. In the case study, a project of business process reengineering (BPR) with a hydraulic machinery manufacturer is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the DEA/AHP model.展开更多

TOMS is analyzed as an example of a company that took this approach and succeeded. The main research questions try to examine the basic assumptions of TOMS business model in light of shared value concept and uncover the reasons of company's success. The authors claim that two factors played there a crucial role. Firstly the leader whose passion was so contagious that he/she managed to build the team and set up a company based on his/her ideas. Secondly TOMS business model concept (One for One) is convincing for customers who eagerly join the movement. This business case illustrates how a company that is based on social values can grow.展开更多

First a high level Petri nets method-Xml nets is introduced, which combines the advantage of Petri nets and XML. Petri nets have strict mathematics and intuitionistic diagram ex- pression way, rich system describing means and system behavior analytical technology, and the re- lated powerful supporting tools. XML, as an extensible markup language, is already a information description de facto standard. XML nets could be utilized to model both the controlling flow and the data flow of mobile business process effectively, which consequently enables the analysis and optimi- zation of the mobile business processes and could be utilized to simulate the execution of the mobile business process with the Petri nets tools to improve the system execution efficiency. In this paper, to demonstrate the modeling of the controlling flow and data flow of mobile business process, an in- strument repair business case is modeled with XML nets.展开更多
