The method behind subject orientation - The missing link between individuals and machines in regard to truth

Abstract

Given the universe of discourse of S-BPM, namely socio-technical systems, the perceived reality of stakeholders involved in work processes play a crucial role. Once their (daily) experience in those processes can be captured adequately, the adaptation of processes to a changing environment or to novel ideas for accomplishing tasks can be facilitated. By putting actors and their communication behavior to the center of interest subject orientation is a promising candidate for the symbiotic organization of work in socio-technical systems. The immediate execution of specifed models has to be considered another key enabler to that respect, as it meets the demand for, What You Specify Is What You Get' in a straightforward way. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
