Abstract

Organizations need to adapt their business processes to increasingly dynamic business environments. In this context, business processes models serve as boundary objects between technology and business operations. Current approaches to business process modeling capture primarily information considering the execution and technological support of business processes. However, situational information, e.g. strategic decisions or external factors, considering current processes in-use have only be tackled rudimentary on the level of representational assets and requirements. This contribution discusses the enhancement of existing business process modeling approaches with situational information. Furthermore, a generic representation approach enabling such an enrichment of business process models is presented.
