Improving business processes and process organization from the Industry 4.0 perspective
Abstract
The aim of the article is to recognize the popularity and dynamics of research
on improving business processes and process organization in enterprises,
institutions, and other organizations. Bibliometric research was conducted to
identify research gaps and developing research areas. The research used the
resources of the Web of Science Core Collection database. As a result of the
research, it was found that the popularity and dynamics of research work in
the field of process improvement are emerging. Research to date conducted
in the field of measuring performance mainly refers to functionally oriented
organizations. The often-postulated direction of a comprehensive approach to
process improvement and process orientation of the organization is still not
gaining significant interest among researchers, as indicated by the number
of publications. The conducted analyses showed an increase in interest in
process issues in management and business sciences with the dominant
activity of researchers representing IT disciplines. The majority share of IT
environments in research on process improvement indicates the dominant
role of digital technologies in Business Process Management, which seems
understandable in the era of Industry 4.0. The growing share of researchers in
management sciences is a positive symptom. However, the share of research
devoted to process organizations creating favorable conditions for the digital
transformation of processes may still be insufficient or even inhibitory.
