<p>This unit is concerned with strategic and organisational issues of processes management and the use of enterprise systems to realise efficient and effective business processes. We will cover fundamental concepts related to process-based management principles and methods in IT-enacted change. Students will develop advance comprehension of the rationale and importance of Business Processes Management (BPM) for companies in globalised and competitive markets. It will illustrate the major strategic approaches used to comprehend, investigate, and implement proficient and compelling business processes. Process modelling techniques, process analysis approaches and process redesign methods will be demonstrated and practiced. Moreover, it will also enhance student’s awareness about the interrelationship between the IT (ES) functionalities and business process requirements. The unit shall provide the details understanding of the main steps of the business process lifecycles, methods, notations, grammars and tool processes of modelling. This unit will develop logical thinking, an appreciation for conceptual models, and the capability to comprehend and counter processes issues related to complex systems like Enterprise Systems.</p>
