Steigerung der Softwareflexibilität bei Geschäftsprozessänderungen

In times of continuous change, companies need to adjust their business processes to gain sustainable competitive advantage. Resulting changes in the company’s IT currently require the involvement of developers from departments that are mostly not aligned with the business. These changes often result in high transaction and labor costs. The article presents a platform-based method to adjust business processes with the aim of increasing both efficiency and flexibility compared to current approaches. The core of our work is an evaluation against traditional component-based software development using a sound simulation model. Three real-world scenarios of business process change show that – despite a slight increase in transaction costs – our suggested method decreases labor costs while increasing operational flexibility.     

Identitätsmanagement

Zusammenfassung  Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Verwaltung gewinnt sowohl die Nutzung als auch das Management elektronischer Identit?ten zunehmend an Be-deutung. Um die Er?rterung dieses wichtigen Themas zu erleichtern, werden in diesem Bei-trag wesentliche Begriffe des Identit?tsmanagements in Form eines Glossars zusammen ge-tragen. Dr. Detlef Hühnlein ist seit mehr alszehn Jahren bei der secu-net Security Networks AG — u.a. im Bereich Identit?tsmanagement — t?tig.     

Geschäftsmodelle

The business model concept, although a relatively new topic for research, has garnered growing attention over the past decade. Whilst it has been robustly defined, the concept has so far attracted very little substantive research. In the context of the wide-spread digitization of businesses and society at large, the logic inherent in a business model has become critical for business success and, hence, a focus for academic inquiry. The business model concept is identified as the missing link between business strategy, processes, and Information Technology (IT). The authors argue that the BISE community offers distinct and unique competencies (e.g., translating business strategies into IT systems, managing business and IT processes, etc.) that can be harnessed for significant research contributions to this field. Within this research gap three distinct streams are delineated, namely, business models in IT industries, IT enabled or digital business models, and IT support for developing and managing business models. For these streams, the current state of the art, suggest critical research questions, and suitable research methodologies are outlined.
