Business Process Management vs Modeling of the Process of Knowledge Management in Contemporary Enterprises

Abstract

Business Process Management is considered to be an up-to-date approach to an organization’s operation, while process structures offer a sense of order. Knowledge resources are treated as inseparable elements of operation of processes. Moreover Knowledge Management may not be separate from Business Process Management. Modeling of the process of Knowledge Management is intended to systematize these informal rules and relations existing in process-based organizations. The main aim of this paper is to identify the modeling of the process of Knowledge Management in enterprises, which implemented Business Process Management. The article presents selected research results carried out in Poland on 122 process-oriented enterprises.
