On the alignment of business models and process models

Abstract

A value transfer is an interaction between two actors where the exchange of object of economic value takes place with their rights, custody and some evidence. Business models are used to describe organizational businesses by focusing on value transfers between actors. Process models are using to describe organizational business processes. They can be used for executing and coordinating value transfers. The paper proposes a way to align business models with process models grounded on value object and value transfer analysis. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
