- ZeitschriftenartikelA Typology of Business Process Standardization Strategies(Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 63, No. 6, 2021) Goel, Kanika; Bandara, Wasana; Gable, GuyBusiness Process Standardization (BPS) is a strategy for improved efficiency and effectiveness of business processes. However, BPS approaches are known to vary much in practice, can consume inordinate time and resources, and are ill-understood. This study applies an exploratory analysis of BPS literature to identify alternative BPS strategies. The analysis identified three key decision-points when strategizing: (i) Approach to standardization (Bottom-up or Top-down), (ii) Choice of Master Process (Internal Exemplar, Internal Best-of-Breed, or External Exemplar), and (iii) Optimization of the Master Process (Yes or No). These alternative choices, in combination, yield 12 BPS strategies, which are described herein and instantiated by mapping 21 published BPS cases against the 12 strategy types. The resulting typology of BPS strategies can serve as a useful tool for researchers investigating BPS and may provide insight for practitioners when considering an appropriate BPS strategy, or in better understanding their existing implicit or explicit strategy.
- ZeitschriftenartikelStrategic Argumentation in Multi-Agent Systems(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 28, No. 3, 2014) Thimm, MatthiasArgumentation-based negotiation describes the process of decision-making in multi-agent systems through the exchange of arguments. If agents only have partial knowledge about the subject of a dialogue strategic argumentation can be used to exploit weaknesses in the argumentation of other agents and thus to persuade other agents of a specific opinion and reach a certain outcome. This paper gives an overview of the field of strategic argumentation and surveys recent works and developments. We provide a general discussion of the problem of strategic argumentation in multi-agent settings and discuss approaches to strategic argumentation, in particular strategies based on opponent models.
