Although managing BPC in a cost-effective way is critical for organisations, corresponding methods and procedures are lacking. This paper outlines a research agenda for developing a mathematical method and a procedural model for assessing the cost-effectiveness of BPC. The research agenda bases on design science research (DSR) paradigm and describes the implementation of corresponding DSR steps according to Peffers et al.enbusiness process compliancecost-effectivenessresearch agenda10.18420/in2017_2421617-5468
