Abstract

Business processes have been widely accepted as the key factors in designing organizational structures. Tools and methods that support process design are limited to abstract design principles, general handbooks or rigid reference models and are therefore insufficient. This paper provides a theoretical foundation for using reusable Process Building Blocks to design organizational processes. In this novel approach to Process Design, enterprises can design their processes by selecting, combining and customizing Reference Process Building Blocks (RPBs) provided by a library. RPBs represent design patterns and Best Practices for the organizational design and IT-support of business processes.
