Reinforcing Business Students’ Business Process Competence: Clues from the Literature and Some Practical Suggestions

Timo Lainema, Reinforcing Business Students’ Business Process Competence: Clues from the Literature and Some Practical Suggestions. In: IRIS 25 - New Ways of Working in IS, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, 2002.

Abstract:

The increasing power of customers, competitors and the constantly
changing business environment has forced many organizations to recognize
the need to move away from focusing on individual tasks and functions to
focusing on more communicated, integrated and coordinated ways of work.
As educators in universities we should take these events into consideration
when we plan business curricula. This means critical examination of the
content and methods of teaching. On the basis of the evidence from the
business process re-engineering (BPR) literature the authors discuss how
computerized learning environments could be enhanced to pay attention to
the process nature of business operations. On the basis of this discussion
the authors argue and represent a business game construction based on
continuous processing. Furthermore, some preliminary findings of the game
utilization in three company training sessions are represented.
