Abstract (De)
Process-oriented information logistics is proposed as a novel concept aimed at supporting and improving the execution of an organization's operational processes by the embedding of analytic information and/or analysis capabilities into process execution. The article reports on findings of an exploratory study that is directed at identifying design factors and realization approaches of process-oriented information logistics. Based on this empirical analysis, so-called development situations are identified. They represent abstractions of situational characteristics that influence the applicability, effectiveness, and efficiency of an information systems development method. The development situations are systematized in a so-called context type vs. project type matrix. Insights into development situations of process-oriented information logistics are particularly useful for the engineering of situational methods aimed at the implementation and advancement of this concept.
