- ItemBusiness system as an equilibrium of intention and causality(Technical university of Liberec, Czech Republic, 2017-12-20) Řepa, Václav; Ekonomická fakultaThe article is aimed to draw the attention to the essential features of the business processes and business systems in the context of their modeling. We follow the root ideas of cybernetics in order to explain the concept of intentionality and its consequences in business system modeling as well as its impact on the business process modeling methodology and language. Possible way of reflecting these ideas in the business processes modeling methodology is outlined using the example of the process meta-model and business process patterns from the MMABP methodology. Then the concept of causality in business systems is explained and relevant informatics theories and techniques for modeling the real world causality are introduced in this context. Particular attention is paid to the topic of relationships between both basic types of the business system models: intentional business process and causal ontology model. General rules and principles of the consistency of models are discussed together with their methodological consequences. Basic types of the consistency of models – completeness and correctness – are identified and also the specific topic of 'structural consistency' is introduced in this context. In the conclusions section the needed reflection of these essential features in the modeling languages and methodology is analyzed and the basic insufficiencies of the contemporary approaches to the business process modeling are pointed out together with the outline of possible ways of their overcoming. As the main challenges in the field of business process modeling methodology and languages we particularly identify the need for respecting all consequences of the fact that business process has to be always taken as a purposeful process as well as the need for implementing the self-perception of the process in order to allow it achieving the higher orders of prediction.
- ItemProcesní management ve veřejné správě(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, ) Řepa, Václav; Ekonomická fakultaThe article develops the idea of using the principles of business process-oriented management in public administration. Compared with the market-oriented organizations the area of public administration is more complex and abstract which makes the projects of process change in this field significantly complicated. On the other hand, the same characteristic creates the possibility to achieve significant benefits as also the “natural” degree of inefficiency in the area of public administration is order of magnitude higher than it is in regular market-oriented firms. The article introduces the long-term program consisting of a series of real analytical projects in this area. Basic principles of the approach as well as starting points of the methodology are explained. Four original principles are discussed in detail: Three source areas of the community management, Life events as essential triggers of key processes, Hierarchy of human needs as a general source of life events, and Life cycles of key objects as their general context. Main relevant outputs of the program are presented in the form of examples of key processes from each of three basic areas of the community management: physical, social, and economic environment. Each key process is discussed in terms of its main value as well as the substantial change which it brings in comparison with the current state. Extensive experience from the program is discussed, and the idea that the process change in the area of public administration is the only way to the effectiveness and meaningfulness of any IT investment in this area, i.e. e-Government, is elaborated in conclusions.
