PublicationProcess Performance Management - A Systematic Problem Analysis and Identification of Design PrinciplesBusiness processes are the means by which organisations create value. Consequently, organisations need to continuously monitor and control their processes' performance so as to provide a consistent and predictable execution quality. A number of today's organisations, however, appear to encounter difficulties with measuring and improving their processes' performance. In this paper, we set out to identify the gap between how organisations currently approach process performance management (PPM) and what they are striving to realise in the future. The systematic gap analysis results in a set of design factors that are valuable in guiding future design efforts for useful and relevant PPM solutions.Type:Journal:Volume:Issue:

PublicationA Maturity Model for Management Control Systems : Five Evolutionary Steps to Guide Development(Springer Gabler, 2012-08-01)The ‘right' configuration of Management Control Systems (MCSs) is still challenging. Aligning reporting, planning, and consolidation from a functional, organizational, and IT perspective needs systematic guidance. The empirically grounded MCS maturity model guides such a development by outlining an evolution from a basic, mandatory/external-driven MCS (level 1), to a balanced MCS (level 2), and a comprehensive MCS (level 3). Ultimately, MCSs show a strong strategic focus (level 4) and leverage the potentials of modern IT (level 5).Type:Journal:Volume:Issue:

PublicationEin Reifegradmodell für Unternehmenssteuerungssysteme(Springer Gabler, 2012-08-01)Corporate management in today's international companies has become increasingly complex. To cope with these growing challenges, information technology (IT)-based management control systems (MCSs), reporting, planning, and consolidation systems have been deployed. Despite their tradition in management research, the right configuration of MCSs is still challenging. Maturity models (MMs) are an established instrument to identify strengths and weaknesses of certain domains. As existing MMs focus on single MCSs, neglect an IT perspective and miss a sound methodical foundation, this paper outlines an empirically and algorithmically constructed MCS-MM. The model consists of three partial MMs for reporting, planning, and consolidation, which are integrated into one holistic MCS MM. The five levels of the MCS MM guide MCS evolution from a financial and corporate center-centric MCS (level 1) to a basic corporate MCS (level 2), and a comprehensive corporate MCS (level 3). Additionally, the MCS recommends a strong strategic orientation (level 4) and the leverage of potentials of modern IT support (level 5).Type:Journal:Volume:Issue:

PublicationTowards Private-Public Research Partnerships Combining Rigor and Relevance in DWH/BI Research: The Competence Center ApproachBusiness intelligence (BI) and data warehousing (DWH) research represent two increasingly popular, but still emerging fields in the information systems (IS) academic discipline. As such, they raise two substantial questions: Firstly, how rigorous, i.e., fundamental, constituent, and explanatory, is DWH/ BI research? and, secondly, how relevant, i.e., useful and purposeful, is this research to practitioners? In this article, the authors uphold the position that relevance and rigor are by no means dichotomous, but two sides of the same coin. Naturally, this requires well-defined approaches and guidelines-for scholarship in general and DWH/BI research in particular. Therefore, this paper proposes the competence center (CC) approach-a private-public partnership between academia and practice. The authors illustrate how the CC approach can be applied within the field of DWH/BI and suggest that a close link between research and practice supports both enhancing relevance to practice and strengthening rigor of research.Type:Journal:Volume:Issue:
