This track invites contributions that explore the dynamic and increasingly interdependent relationship between Business Process Management (BPM) and Digital Innovation (DI). With organizations striving to remain competitive in an environment shaped by rapid technological progress, socio-economic uncertainties, and sustainability challenges, the fusion of BPM and DI is not only timely but essential. BPM, traditionally associated with improving organizational efficiency and operational excellence, is now being reimagined as a key enabler of digital innovation and transformation. Conversely, digital innovation challenges conventional BPM assumptions, offering new ways to conceptualize, design, and enact business processes.

Track Co-Chairs:
Anna Maria Oberländer, University of Bayreuth
Djordje Djurica, Vienna University of Economics and Business
Iris Beerepoot, Utrecht University
