Hyperautomation as a vital optimization tool in organizations: cognitive approach with the use of Euler circles

“…This means that, on the basis of scientific publications, the concept of hyperautomation can be interchangeable with terms intelligent automation or intelligent process automation, provided that the appropriate context is retained. However, hyperautomation is a more complete concept than the two previously mentioned, and its complexity better reflects the essence of the phenomenon of “hyperautomation” or “superautomation.” A literature review conducted by the authors on the number of scientific publications on hyperautomation in general, in the field of management and quality sciences (Buła & Niedzielski, 2021), revealed a significant conceptual, cognitive and research gap in this field. The same is true of the explanation of the meaning of the concept of hyperautomation, which, for the time being, has seen much more perspectives than on the basis of science.…”

“…In the context of the above, having knowledge of contemporary perspectives on hyperautomation, we can now proceed to try to name this term, creating its nominal definition, the design of which will be based on Euler’s diagrams. To begin with, however, it should be emphasized that the nominal definition of hyperautomation presented in this article will result from the analysis and interpretation of the materials which, in tabular form, have been presented in Tables 1 and 2 and from previous literature reviews (Buła & Niedzielski, 2021). Moreover, its content will take into account both linguistic and logical correctness, which in science is decisive for formulating final conclusions from undertaken research.…”

“…Consequently, this contributed to a more precise definition of the basic term, which was the subject of this article, namely “hyperautomation.” However, given the consideration presented in this work, both theoretical and practical terms, of various types of: properties, characteristics, equivalences, partial adjustments, theories or also facts about hyperautomation (but also automation) that have been examined, we can undertake to formulate several original and reasonable conclusions and diagnoses of an explication and/or discriminatory and evaluatory nature. First, it should be noted that the term “hyperautomation,” as evidenced by literature studies conducted by Buła and Niedzielski (2021), is a phrase still new and little recognized, especially on the basis of theory. According to Google Trends analysis, the popularity of the term hyperautomation in the Internet began to grow from July 1, 2019 (for more information see: https://trends.google.com).…”
