EXPLORING BUSINESS PROCESS DESIGN ALTERNATIVES THROUGH A BUSINESS MODEL LENS

Organizations acknowledge that focusing on operational efficiency is insufficient to respond to disruptive forces and advances in digital technologies. Hence, business process management (BPM) needs to become more innovation-driven and capitalize on opportunities related to new products, services, and business models. Despite recent contributions, more research is required to strengthen the BPM capabilities of organizations in this direction. Following the design science research paradigm and situational method engineering, we develop a method to explore process design alternatives to support the implementation of a business model during its innovation. In this research-in-progress paper, we present the initial version of our method. With this research, we aim to contribute to explorative BPM by demonstrating how processes can support organizations in proactively creating value by enabling business model innovation. Our work also contributes to business model research and practice by providing actionable guidelines to implement a business model through the design of processes

Key Performance Indicators for Business Models: A Review of Literature

To support decision-making during the business model innovation process, researchers have investigated approaches for evaluating business models. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to business models can play an important role in evaluating the performance of business models, as they reflect the decisions and activities that drive the critical aspects of the organization. To date, there has been considerable research on business model KPIs. However, current research lacks an overall understanding of how business model KPIs are managed. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute with a classification of existing studies on business model KPIs in five categories relevant to KPI management, as well as future research avenues. In particular, we identify the development of methods and software tools to support selection, concretization, and reporting of business model KPIs, and the design of an integrated approach for business model KPI management as important areas for further research

Museums Virtual Tour: a teaching proposal with research for 5th grade students in a pandemic scenario

This didatic proposal aims to contribute to the scientific literacy of 5th grade students of Elementary School. This is a proposal developed in a pandemic context, using as a pedagogical resource the Virtual Biomes Exhibition, which was presented in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The methodology is based on the principles of classroom research, through an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary project, which uses Science and Mathematics Modeling as research and teaching method. The proposal for virtual tour presents a pedagogical alternative in the pandemic context, since it becomes possible to transport knowledge to the digital environment with technological resources, providing access to the collections of several museums worldwide. As an additional contribution, it is intended to contribute to the formation of ethical and critical individuals, who are aware of their rights and duties as citizens.La presente propuesta de enseñanza propone contribuir a la alfabetización científica de los estudiantes de quinto grado de la Escuela Primaria. Se trata de una propuesta elaborada en un contexto de pandemia, utilizando como recurso pedagógico la exposición virtual Biomas, presentada en Río de Janeiro en 2012. Metodológicamente, se fundamenta en los principios de la investigación en el aula, a través de un proyecto interdisciplinario y transdisciplinario, utilizando Modelación en Ciencias y Matemática como método de investigación y enseñanza. Se señala que una propuesta de visitas virtuales en museos se presenta como una alternativa pedagógica en un contexto de una pandemia, ya que, a través de la tecnologia, se transporta el conocimiento presencial al digital, y, de esta forma, se superan barreras, proporcionando acceso a las colecciones de varios museos del mundo. Además, se busca contribuir a la formación de personas éticas, críticas, conocedoras de sus derechos y deberes como ciudadanos.A presente proposta didática, objetiva contribuir para a alfabetização científica dos estudantes do 5º ano dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Trata-se de uma proposta elaborada em um contexto pandêmico, utilizando como recurso pedagógico a Mostra virtual Biomas, que foi apresentada no Rio de Janeiro em 2012. Metodologicamente, fundamenta-se nos princípios da pesquisa em sala de aula, por meio de um projeto interdisciplinar e transdisciplinar, utilizando a Modelagem em Ciências e Matemática como método de pesquisa e de ensino. Aponta-se que uma proposta de visitas virtuais em museus se apresenta como uma alternativa pedagógica, em um contexto atravessado por uma pandemia, pois por meio da tecnologia, o conhecimento presencial se transporta ao conhecimento digital, e dessa forma, extrapolam barreiras, fornecendo acesso aos acervos de diversos museus mundiais. Além disso, busca-se contribuir para a formação de indivíduos éticos, críticos e conhecedores dos seus direitos e deveres como cidadão. &nbsp

Bridging Business Models and Business Processes: A Systematic Review of Methods

Business models are increasingly recognized as a concept to support innovation in organizations. The implementation and operation of a new or altered business model involves the (re-)design of an organization\u27s business processes and their successful execution. However, we currently lack an understanding of how existing research can be used to guide organizations in systematically moving from a business model design to the implementation and operation of the business model through their underlying business processes. Therefore, this study aims at identifying and analyzing methods that relate business models and business processes. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature review on methods that bridge business models and business processes. We classified the selected methods according to their characteristics and support during the business model the design, implementation, and operation of business models. The results of our systematic review provide an overview of existing methods that organizations can adopt when moving from business model design into the implementation and operation of their business model using processes. Our work also synthesizes knowledge gaps and identifies future research avenues for relating business models and business processes

DEFINING KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR BUSINESS MODELS: DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR A METHOD AND TOOL SUPPORT

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play an important role in guiding the management of business models throughout their lifecycle. However, existing research lacks practical methods to guide the definition of KPIs for business models. Without proper guidance, there may be a mismatch between the intended business model design and its implementation, resulting in many promising business model ideas failing to reach the market. To address this problem, we adopt a design science research approach to design and evaluate a method and supporting IT tool for defining business model KPIs. In this research-in-progress paper, we present a set of meta-requirements and design principles for developing the method and tool support. We instantiate the requirements and principles in a tool prototype and evaluate their validity in semi-structured interviews with five industry experts. Our study contributes to research on KPIs for business models and the development of methods and tools for business model management
