“…The papers published on BPM in BISE/WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK almost completely neglect the discussion of any of the theoretical foundations presented in this paper. As illustrative examples, only a handful of papers refer to emergence (Coldewey 2002;Wittmann and Bruckner 2007), to Giddens and his structuration theory (Riemer and Filius 2008), to adaptive structuration theory (Klein and Krcmar 2003;Riemer and Filius 2008), to drift or Ciborra (Teubner 2013), or to (organizational) routines (Brüggemeier et al 2005;Lammers 2004;Schäfermeyer et al 2012;Yu 2001) at all. Since none of these papers, apart from the above-mentioned article by Schäfermeyer et al (2012), has a clear focus on business processes, the proposed meta-framework strives to develop an alternative theoretical view on BPM to bridge this gap.…”
