The subject serves as an introductory platform to business processes. It offers both conceptual and practical guidance for achieving competitive advantage by managing business processes. The Management of Business processes involves the deliberate and collaborative design, management and goal definition of end-to-end sets of activities that create value for customers.

Key aspects of business processes at the management, operational and support level are investigated and supporting theories explored looking at the work of Taylor, Harmon, Davenport, Hammer and Porter to name some. By taking a holistic view of the organisation, that transcends vertical, horizontal, external and geographical boundaries, this unit provides a road map for guiding organisations to analyse, re-design and improve business processes. Finally, the effects of the application of Information Systems on business processes are investigated in terms of how the processes themselves are captured and become an integral part of the technology.
