Integrating Compliance Management in Service-Driven Computing

Purpose of the study. The first goal of the study is a comparative analysis of the models of the accounting system of the stock market operating on the territory of the Russia, in particular, the model of the distributed accounting system and the model of the centralized accounting with the use of the central depository are considered. The second goal is to apply the distributed ledger technology in the development of a new model for the stock market accounting system. The goals are conditioned by the growing interest to the technology and similarity of its internal processes with the system of accounting of digital assets. The needs in optimization of the existing accounting system, bringing the system to the logical centralization are revealed. The application of distributed ledger technology for the purpose of unification of depository accounting systems is proposed. The analysis of efficiency of the given models is carried out and the criteria of efficiency estimation of each model are revealed. Materials and methods. For carrying out the research the works of description of register system genesis of stock market in Russia were applied. Works of Russian and foreign researchers in the field of influence of technology of distributed registers on accounting system and business processes of organizations are studied. The methodology for comparing models was the approach to the development of highly specialized evaluation criteria that meet the needs of the largest number of stock market participants. Results. Evaluation criteria were developed, on the basis of which the comparison of the existing models of the accounting system of stock market and the projected model on the distributed ledger technology was carried out. The needs for optimization of the existing accounting system of Russia, bring the system to the logical centralization of interaction of elements are revealed. Suggestions for the use of distributed ledger technology in order to unite the register systems of obligations have been developed The variety of elements of the accounting system of the Russian stock market was determined a large number of indicators used in comparisons of models, as well as a variety of approaches, both to the construction of the indicators themselves and to the collection of data to ensure their calculation and comparison. Conclusion. According to the results of the research it was determined that the decentralized model of the stock market accounting system on the distributed ledger technology in comparison with the classic model reduces the transaction cost of obligation right accounting operations, optimizes the complexity of the processes of interaction between the elements of the system, such as depositories and registrars, increases the transparency of the stock market, the processes of the transition of assets rights, due to which the liquidity of such assets and the increases investors interest. Decentralized model standardizes the of communication data, which has a positive effect on the indicators of information systems of participants. In comparison with the centralized model, the decentralized model eliminates the central depository transaction commission, eliminates monopolization to choose the direction of stock market depository accounting system development. Finally, the positive influence of the decentralized model on the stock market as a whole was revealed. The resulting form of relations will reduce the main cost indicators of the accounting system elements, such as transaction costs, the cost of support and development of information systems, the number of necessary formats for the application of interaction with counterparties.

Implementation of enterprise resource planning system to support business process in organization has increased rapidly. Higher education institution is one of organizations which can use enterprise resource planning system to optimize their business process. Universitas Indonesia (UI) is one of the prominent universities in Indonesia who uses enterprise resource planning system for their financial business processes, but the adoption process has not been completed until now. This happened because there are many factors that hinder enterprise resource planning system adoption at the UI. This study combines Technology, Organization, Environment framework and Iacovou model as a guideline to analyze challenges and supporting dimension in adopting enterprise resource planning system in UI. Our research found that challenges are the fact that UI usually developed their own system, lack of communication process in organization, no regulation from government about enterprise resource planning implementation in higher education, and the perceived benefits are not satisfied employees yet. Supporting factors are the existance of good information technology infrastructure, top management support, various enterprise resource planning vendor, and the benefits is slowly felt by employee.

Increasing interconnection of organizations is a global trend. Independent organizational units or entire organizations build temporary or permanent collaborations, which pool resources, capabilities, and information to achieve a common objective (Sydow, 1993). New business models are emerging and existing ways of working are redesigned forming long running processes between various (external) partners—so called Cross- Organisational Business Processes (CBPs). In order to realize a collaborative scenario in an efficient and effective manner, it is necessary to design, manage, and optimize CBPs on a global level. This requires the externalization of internal information of every single partner in the network.

To solve the problem of modeling cross-organizational business process, a method of mining the cross-organizational businessprocess model from event logs is proposed. The method describes the different aspects of the cross-organizational business processfrom three perspectives: internal perspective, public perspectiveand collaborative perspective, so as to gain the intra-organization-al process model, the inter-organizational public process model, the collaborative process model in cross-organizational collaborat-ion business. The intra-organizational process model formed bymining, analyzing and sorting the running log of the organization involved in cross-organizational collaboration. The inter-organiza-tional process model is obtained by simplifying the intra-organ-izational process model, and finally the cooperative process modelcan be modelled. Compared with the existing modeling methods, this method can protect the details of the internal business proc-ess, and provides the public process model to public only, which can effectively support the individual characteristics of thecross- organizational business process.

Significant stochastic dependencies in process models

This paper describes the impact of blockchain on organizations in various fields of activity. In order to describe the impact in detail and correctly, the blockchain process is described, which is divided into several stages. In addition, the architecture of the blockchain technology implementation system is displayed. Due to the fact that blockchain technology correlates with other electronic centralized systems, its distinctive features are listed. Based on these features, there is a change and simplification of business processes in organizations. However, this technology has both advantages and disadvantages which will disappear over time. There are certain requirements for the blockchain, the fulfillment of which will allow creating a working version of a decentralized system. Thus, this work confirms the pos-sibility of integrating blockchain technology into various fields of activity.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a relatively new approach to automate business processes in organizations. Practitioners have adopted it extensively, notably within the accounting discipline; however, the scientific research seems to be lagging. As a result of this, there is no clear definition or uniform understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of RPA. To close this gap, we conducted a structured and systematic literature review of published scholarly articles on RPA. We set out to identify the definition of RPA, consider its feasibility regarding implementation, outline the advantages and disadvantages, and evaluate the risks and best practices of RPA. In this paper, we show that the literature has particularly failed to discuss the quantifiable benefits of RPA. The best practices identified are especially relevant for practitioners. Based on our findings, we propose an agenda for future research on RPA.

Considering the growing competition in the market, each com­pany strives to operate in accordance with the time in which it exists and following modern techniques of business system management. One of such techniques is manifested in designing and managing business processes in organizations. The authors investigated two groups of respondents. The first group consists of employees of different organizations in Croatia. The second group of respondents are students of higher years of economic fac­ulties in Croatia. The perception of these two groups on the importance of the company’s business process orientation was examined. The two groups were examined for an overview of the current situation with the help of em­ployees and the future through the prism of future employees – current stu­dents. This paper aims to assume future trends of BPO use in organizations taking into account the perception of the participants surveyed.

Historical perspective

Process mining uses event data recorded by information systems to reveal the actual execution of business processes in organizations. By doing this, event logs can expose sensitive information that may be attributed back to individuals (e.g., reveal information on the performance of individual employees). Due to GDPR organizations are obliged to consider privacy throughout the complete development process, which also applies to the design of process mining systems. The aim of this paper is to develop a privacy-preserving system design for process mining. The user-centered view on the system design allows to track who does what, when, why, where and how with personal data. The approach is demonstrated on an IoT manufacturing use case.

Enterprise systems (ES) are industry-specific, customizable software packages that integrate information and business process in organizations. Despite the advantages associated with implementing ES, their success has been mixed. This has attracted the interest of researchers and resulted in a proliferation of literature on implementation. However, the extant ES studies lack a theoretical framework for the examination of ES use and its implications for change in organizations. We seek to bridge this research gap by proposing a theoretical framework for change induced through ES use. This paper contributes to theory in two areas. First, by analytically separating the notions of structure, institution, and organization, we illustrate a consistent application of Giddens' structuration theory to ES use. Second, we develop a structurational model of ES-induced change that explicates the relationship between specific characteristics of ES and the nature of change occasioned through their use by human agents within a historically shaped organizational context. Towards this objective, we distinguish ES from other information systems. Implications for practitioners and researchers are presented.

Creating value in each company is based on business processes in it. Their rational organization is a key factor in their transformation into a competitive advantage for the company. In order to achieve this it is necessary the business processes to be analyzed in detail, continuously optimized and effectively managed by means of combining of management methods and techniques with tools of information technology.

Workflow management is aimed at the execution of business processes within an enterprise. Workflow management systems (WfMSs) build an execution platform for business processes in organizations of any size and structure. Performance is an important criteria for the applicability of WfMSs; they have to be scalable to varying load situations. The authors present a modular logical WfMS architecture, which is the basis for configuring the WfMS according to the performance needs of the application environment. Based on this logical architecture they define a data partitioning and replication scheme which allows to replicate and distribute components of the WfMS without raising synchronization efforts. As a consequence, the proposed physical architecture provides scalability.

Whether a mind forms in large-group writing in the workplace is the focus of this article originally given as the 1998 ABC Outstanding Researcher Lecture. This article is based on a five-year ethnographic study that describes and analyzes a three-month group writing process that created a computer service-level agreement, involving a 20-person cross-functional core more than 100 other collaborators at a major corporation. The article discusses collective in two senses: First, a document's evolving form or superstructure produced a schema that allowed the group through a process of equilibration (Piaget, 1981) to adopt outsider boilerplate into a more situated general model and then into a situated document. Second, architectural forms motivated and molded group activity in several ways. To combat group apathy, the leaders appropriated an in-demand meeting room for the project, positioning the project as high-status in the center of the workflow. Group leaders prominently displayed a task completion check-off chart that, in a downsizing environment, helped both to coordinate group activity and to encourage completion. Keywords: Collaborative Writing, Collective Mind, Cross-functional Groups, Large Group, Team Management. Trends ends in business and government affect the very nature of writing in those environments, as Tebeaux has noted (1996). One of the most widespread and genuinely altering trends, brought on by global competition, is the move in the 1980's and 1990's of U.S. companies from taskfocused to process-focused management, often through the managerial approaches of total quality management and/or reengineering. For example, the tasks involved in order fulfillment, such as taking the order, entering it into a database, checking the customer's credit, and so forth, are not in isolation valuable to the customer. Yet before process-focused management (and even today in too many cases), management focused only upon how many orders were taken, how many credit checks were conducted, and so forth, in isolation from the rest of the process. But only when these tasks are integrated do they create value (Hammer, 1996, p. 5). The continuous improvement or fundamental redesign of business processes in organizations requires much writing, first, to identify these complex processes; second, to design incremental or radical improvements; and third, to implement the changes. Because these business processes typically span many departments in a company, their documentation and adjustment or reinvention often creates the need for a large-group writing effort. Ede and Lunsford have defined group writing as writing done in collaboration with one or more persons (1990, pp. 15-16). Large-group dynamics begin when the number of group members exceeds 15-20, as Gilmore and Barnett note (1992, p. 539). Although researchers have studied many small collaborative writing groups, only two studies have focused upon any kind of large group collaborative writing (Mclsaac & Aschauer, 1990; Kleimann, 1989). Mclsaac and Aschauer discuss other important topics (e.g., writing in engineering and persuasive strategies) as much as they do large-group collaboration. Kleimann (1989) focuses upon the review of documents by large groups in the workplace. Thus no one has described in depth a collaboration in which a large group had input into the planning and/or writing that went into the first complete draft of a document. Beyond that, no study has described the training of leaders and their facilitation of concurrent collaborative subgroups working on a large document. Noting this incomplete information on large-group writing, Association of Business Communication Outstanding Researcher Janis Forman (1991, p. 247) called for more research in this area. This study begins to fill that gap. This article comes from a larger ethnographic study describing and analyzing a three-month group writing process involving a 20-person cross-functional core group and over 100 more than collaborators at Montmanche Corporation (pseudonym), a major corporation. …
