Defining and Measuring Digital Competence
Digital competence and future skills : how companies prepare themselves for the digital future, Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH Co. KG, S. 3-23

View Abstract
Digital competence is a diffuse term that leaves a lot of room for interpretation. In order to build digital literacy among people, we must first understand how to make the term tangible. In particular, under the concept of digital participation, it is important to integrate as many people as possible into this discourse. Therefore, we need to understand what the status quo looks like today. To this end, this section includes current study results around digital literacy among companies and also among the general population. The chapters in this section of the book revolve around the following guiding questions: - What is digital competence? - How can digital competence be analyzed and measured? - What are suitable dimensions for digital competence in the population? - What does digital literacy look like in different countries in Europe? - What is the state of digital transformation in general? - How far are companies in building digital competence? What differences are apparent?

View Abstract
Many stakeholders are involved in process operation and, consequently, also in process improvement and innovation. For the coordination of all stakeholders, an effective governance model with clearly defined roles and tasks can support process-oriented decision-making, which drives improvement and innovation. In this chapter, such a Business Process Management governance model is introduced. The role-based model FAR+ (Framework for Assignment of Responsibilities) provides precise assignment of process accountabilities and responsibilities. In the following, we apply FAR+ to an exemplary process at Lufthansa Technik. Based on this application, we derive implications for research and practice.

How Do Planned and Actual Interaction Structures Differ in Global Outsourcing Arrangements?
In: Kotlarsky, J., Oshri, I., and Willcocks, L. P. (eds.): The Dynamics of Global Sourcing: Perspectives and Practices, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 20-38.

View Abstract
How and why do actual interaction structures in global outsourcing arrangements differ from those originally planned? We use a social network perspective to analyze the structure of social interaction networks among operational staff and management of vendor and client firm in an outsourcing arrangement. We apply a case study approach to understand which interaction structures appear and whether they are in accordance with those structures formally defined in the outsourcing governance. We found that real interaction often differs from the plan and we provide theoretical explanations for understanding these deviations, thus contributing to the understanding of outsourcing governance and outsourcing relationship management.

The Role of SOA for BPO Intention - Proposing a Research Model
In: Raj Sharman, H. Raghav Rao, T. S. Raghu (Eds.): Exploring the Grand Challenges for Next Generation E-Business, Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, Springer, Berlin, 122-136

View Abstract
How does the availability of an SOA within a firm affect the potential of and intention for outsourcing business activities? Since one of the promises of SOA is to modularize the IT representation of business processes, it should facilitate business process outsourcing in terms of buying the provision of single business functionalities. In this paper, we develop a conceptual research model that theorizes the relationship between SOA and BPO intention.

Proposing the Relationship between IT Business Alignment and the Business Value of Service-Oriented Architectures in Financial Firms
In: D. Kundisch, D. J. Veit, T. Weitzel, and C. Weinhardt (eds.): Enterprise Applications and Services in the Finance Industry, Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, Springer, Berlin, 78-93

View Abstract
What is the business value of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and how can we achieve it? This paper represents a conceptual piece of research which focuses on the impact of IT Business Alignment (ITBA) on the successful implementation of SOA, in terms of its business value. The contribution of this model is predominant in proposing a threefold effect of ITBA on achieving a successful implementation of SOA through the specific strategic needs defined by a particular firm in a specific industry, i.e., the banking industry. As a result, we show that the business strategy moderates the impact of SOA's general potentials on its actual business value and claim that this relationship is further moderated by ITBA, which must be thoroughly considered by practitioners deciding on introducing SOA in their firm.

Capability Map: Eine alternative Darstellungsweise für Unternehmensprozesse aus ressourcenorientierter Sicht
Beyer, J.; Mönch, L. (Hrsg.): Aspekte der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Methoden, Werkzeuge und Anwendungen, SCS-European Publishing House

View Abstract
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit einem neuen Modellierungs- und Analysekonzept für Geschäftsprozesse, das aus zwei Unternehmenstheorien, der Resource-based Theory (RBT) und der Competence-based Theory (CBT), entwickelt wurde. Das Konzept versteht sich als eine zu den traditionellen, prozessbasierten Darstellungs- und Analysetechniken komplementäre Methode, die das Management bei der strategischen Entscheidungsfindung - z. B. über das Outsourcing bestimmter Teilprozesse - unterstützen soll. Das als "Capability Map" bezeichnete Konzept bietet einen neuartigen Ansatz zur strategischen Evaluierung der Komponenten von Geschäftsprozessen und erlaubt deren Darstellung als ein Netzwerk von sog. Capabilities. Unter dem Begriff "Capability" verstehen wir das Leistungsvermögen (materielle und immaterielle sowie intellektuelle Ressourcen) eines Unternehmens, eine gewisse Geschäftsfunktion auf beliebiger Granularitätsebene auszuführen. Die Anwendung der Capability Map auf die Prozesse einer deutschen Universalbank zeigen die Nutzenpotenziale dieses neuen Konzeptes auf.
