Indonesia is one of the largest culinary attractions in Southeast Asia. The culinary diversity in Indonesia encourages stakeholders to create restaurant businesses with effective and efficient business processes. One of the efforts to make the restaurant business process effective and efficient is to build a restaurant management information system. By using a system, business actors will be able to control and evaluate their business with appropriate reports. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to build a restaurant management information system using the RAD (Rapid Application Development) method, because building this application requires a systematic, structured, and object-oriented process. The RAD method emphasizes a high quality systems, fast development and delivery and low costs development process [1] so that this process requires a serious role from business actors to build a restaurant management information system. The results of this system design can make it easier for business actors to control the business process from the customer to the kitchen so that the food and beverage ordering process will be served quickly. The GUI restaurant management information system is made interactively so that customers and business actors can easily understand the system. The test results of this system use black-box testing, with the conclusion that the system is successful to run.

Modern business conditions are based on the laws and characteristics of the development of market relations. Successful and stable activity of any business entity today directly depends on the effectiveness of the management system, the most important element of which is properly organized control. In the activities of any business entity, the place, role and importance of control are as important as accounting, management and analysis. The domestic science of control has rather deep roots, and the multifaceted nature and depth of the concept of “control” are closely related to the concepts of “management” and “management accounting”. In conditions of increasing competition, when the problems of increasing the effectiveness of control are significantly updated, the issues of organizing internal control, its development and integration are becoming more relevant. The study of the category of "internal control", its subjects and objects, the place in the management process allows us to identify in its structure individual species characterized by a targeted orientation and methodological features. The practical implementation of the internal control system should be carried out in accordance with the basic principles of its effective organization, which are closely interconnected, and the procedure for combining them to a greater extent depends on the prevailing specific business conditions and circumstances. Integration of the internal control system into the general management system will ensure the reliability of information at various levels, as well as significantly reduce the potential for making erroneous management decisions. The principles of making a choice when implementing a rational and economically reasonable accounting policy of an autonomous institution depend directly on the valid regulations of the accounting standards of the public sector system of the economy. This aspect makes it possible to influence not only the effectiveness of the use of material, labor and financial resources, but also to ensure a proper level of capital units’ turnover, to obtain additional internal sources of capital investments financing and current assets, to attract external resources to expand the scope of an autonomous institution. The application of various models of internal control, including elements of a risk-oriented approach allows to carry out to the right degree conceptual process of organizing enterprise control. The model of the internal control system of an autonomous institution suggested by the authors takes into account a systematic approach, risk orientation considering factors of the internal and external environment, incorporating the model in business processes, with regard to the ultimate goal of implementation - increasing the efficiency of business processes while reducing expenses and increasing profit in the financial responsibility centers. Indicative management model is widely used as the foundation of management. As a rule, it is based on a spatial vision of internal control, and as an analysis, depending on the activity type of an economic entity, the business processing is allocated, taking into account the influence of various indicators that reflect the factors influence of the external and internal environment, in particular, in the context of parameters of competitive advantage. We consider the use of an effective model to be the most promising model of internal control. Based on the author's idea of an integrated model of internal control, its main components will be: a systematic approach, a focus on risks, taking into account factors of the internal and external environment, incorporating the model in business processes and financial responsibility centers. Furthermore the main object of the suggested model of internal control will be risks arising as a result of the influence of factors of the internal and external environment. The purpose of the suggested model is to increase the efficiency of business processes existing in the economic entity while simultaneously reducing expenses and increasing profits in financial responsibility centers. Considering that the element “control environment” of internal control within the framework of the current legislation has changed to the institutional internal environment, it is noteworthy that the introduction into application practice of institutional environment of an autonomous institution internal control consists of the following levels: external and internal. The external environment in the form of formal and informal institutes is prevailing, having an impact on the internal environment of an economic entity, represented by its own specific cultural and functional “micro institutes” (formal and informal).

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this paper is to discuss the necessity of separating decision rules from domain model implementation. (1) Background: can rules help to discover hidden connections between data? We propose a separated implementation of decision rules on data about fixed assets for decision support. This will enhance search results. (2) Methods and technical workflow: We used DROOLS (Decision Rules Object Oriented System) to implement decision rules on the subject of accounting decisions on fixed assets; (3) Results: Making the model involves: the existence of a domain ontology and an ontology for the developed application; the possibility of executing specified inferences; the possibility of extracting information from a database; the possibility of simulations, predictions; the possibility of addressing fuzzy questions; and (4) Conclusions: The rules, the plans, and the business models must be implemented to allow specification of control over concepts. The editing of meta models must be directed to the user to ensure adaptation and not implemented at the level of control of the data control.

Full textAbstract:
From a CASE point of view business applications can be divided into three broad classes depending on their generality: those requiring general workbenches, those requiring specifically tailored workbenches, and those that could use blueprints. A CASE environment for all seasons is not what many business users really need. They would prefer an environment tailored to the specific class of application under development, one that will bring that application into being most efficiently and effectively, and keep it in vigorous operation over its lifetime. We have therefore concentrated on one particular application class of interest to the business community, namely interactive, data-centred systems. A model for the application class of interest is presented. The main CASE environment requirements identified, which should be integrated through a common project database and tailored to the characteristics of the application class, include business profile, semantic data model, state transition control model, system dictionary active during development, inheritable and tailorable objects such as reports, transactions and other user interactions, procedural facilities, configuration control, project control including costing and scheduling, and interfaces to decision support systems. It is noted that development and production have quite different characteristics and require separate environments. The need for flexibility and adaptability in some CASE environment areas, such as effort estimation and project control, is recognized and it is suggested that existing rule-based techniques should be used. Limitation of a CASE tool set to a rather narrow but common application class should result in substantial productivity gains.

Full textAbstract:
Since a leading conceptual model for the detection of management fraud was initially presented in Loebecke and Willingham (1988), different methods including cascaded logit models, fuzzy systems, neural networks (NNs) model have been applied to promote detection ability of fraud. However, those methods have their inherent limits. Therefore, this study tries to construct a hybrid approach combining the functionality of fuzzy logic and the learning ability of neural network to establish a prior alarm system for fraud lausuits which result from the defective internal controls. The results show that neuro fuzzy with a more accurate prediction not only turns out to be a support system for auditors’ daily practice, it also proposes an assumption foundation for future research through its comprehensive explanation about mapping function among variables.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the application of management control systems (MCS) to business processes when an organisation is operating in an uncertain environment. The limitations of conventional process control in this context are described, and the opportunities to exploit current MCS ideas are considered. Design/methodology/approach – One such model, Simons' levers of control, is used for case study research in a European high technology start-up company. Findings – The findings suggest that the organisation responded to its uncertain environment with a package of formal and informal control systems for its strategically important business processes. The relative importance of individual business processes was observed to positively influence the rigour of control systems' implementation. Also, the inherent uncertainty or unpredictability of an individual business process was observed to influence the type of control systems employed. The use of guiding or enabling systems, particularly interactive control systems, was more pronounced in those business processes which were inherently unpredictable. Originality/value – These findings illustrate that adopting a MCS perspective to address business process control issues can yield new useful insights for managers when dealing with uncertainty.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a cost-effective, time-saving and easy-to-use failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) system applied on the quality control of supplied products. The traditional FMEA has been modified and adapted to fit the quality control features and requirements. The paper introduces a new and revised FMEA approach, where the “failure concept” has been modified with “defect concept.” Design/methodology/approach – The typical FMEA parameters have been modified, and a non-linear scale has been introduced to better evaluate the FMEA parameters. In addition, two weight functions have been introduced in the risk priority number (RPN) calculus in order to consider different critical situations previously ignored and the RPN is assigned to several similar products in order to reduce the problem of complexity. Findings – A complete procedure is provided in order to assist managers in deciding on the critical suppliers, the creation of homogeneous families overcome the complexity of single product code approach, in RPN definition the relative importance of factors is evaluated. Originality/value – This different approach facilitates the quality control managers acting as a structured and “friendly” decision support system: the quality control manager can easily evaluate the critical situations and simulate different scenarios of corrective actions in order to choose the best one. This FMEA technique is a dynamic tool and the performed process is an iterative one. The method has been applied in a small medium enterprise producing hydro massage bathtub, shower, spas and that commercializes bathroom furniture. The firm application has been carried out involving a cross-functional and multidisciplinary team.

Effective internal control is essential for successful operations and management of shipping companies. For its implementation, the most important task is to determine the objects of internal control, that is, the scope of its application. Internal control, as a management function, is aimed at solving management problems, therefore, in the author's opinion, objects of management and objects of internal control are identical. Based on the analysis of the approaches of various authors to the choice of management objects, the author's approach has been developed, taking into account the interaction of all elements of the management system, the multidimensional and multi-level nature of management process, and branch features of shipping business. A classification of objects of internal control in shipping companies has been developed with the allocation of such objects as resources, business processes, results of functioning, management decisions. The disclosure of the content of these objects shows that internal control covers all levels of the shipping company, including both the managed and the control systems.

Global business digitalization entails the automation of a large number of business processes, both key and auxiliary. This trend is becoming a defining factor in the global BPM market. Intelligent systems for automating business processes cover not only the corporate segment of large corporate business, but quickly penetrate into medium-sized businesses and find application in government agencies. A strategic guideline in the digitalization of flow control is an innovative approach, which should be systematic. The proposed concept of digitalization of logistics processes is implemented on a heuristic basis, which corresponds to the permanence of the transition from traditional management of complex systems to logistics management and is determined by the degree of penetration of logistics management to all levels. The use of precise methods to optimize transportation cannot be implemented due to the difficulty of taking into account the external parameters and time constraints imposed by the dimension of the problem. The heuristic approach to which the genetic algorithm belongs is considered

Full textAbstract:
JIT business system appears as one of the features of the modern dynamic business environment. JIT's production philosophy looks at a complete scheme of business processes, from the procurement of raw materials, through its transformation into components to the finished product that the company places on the market. In doing so, great attention is paid to the control of performance measures such as: time, cost, inventory and quality. Successful management of the company in such conditions requires the collection, measurement, classification, processing and distribution of a mass of diverse information that will be relevant and provide better insight into the strategic and competitive position in the market. In JIT companies, an integrated approach to the use of financial and non-financial information for decision-making is necessary. Changes in the areas of production, management and organization have caused appropriate adjustments in costing systems, in order to effectively and efficiently use all production factors. Consequently, an integrated approach to management accounting, the Throughput Accounting concept, based on the basic principles of Constraint Theory, was adopted. Throughput accounting capabilities in terms of providing information are closely related to short-term decision making and enterprise performance management. In doing so, decisions are made on the basis of throughput per unit of limiting factor. The concept of the paper conceived in this way should contribute to the achievement of the goal related to the research of the impact of the modern business environment on the management of the company and the accounting system, and especially on management accounting.

Every organisation works according to principles which define business logic that controls all business processes. However, lot of basic rules of business logic are hidden in companies’ guidelines and directives, in informal techniques of experts, processes owners and specialists. The aim of all managers should be a replacement of this incoherent set of information by set of clear and unambiguous terms which describe the way the company is controlled from inside. This notion is a ground of control and administration of business knowledge.Contemporary practises in development of informational systems demand openness and availability to correspond to constant changes. With the complexity of information system grows the amount of work and its level of difficulty. The rules of business logic are transferred to application logic and implemented into a source code. Therefore, change of the business rule needs change of the code. This means compilation or replacement of the code. Adoption of this new approach would mean more effective possibilities in adjustment of the information systems to environment dynamics thanks to the change of the rules. The article deals with mining methods and subsequent structure of business rules for easier implementation into information system. Business rules base is at the same time business knowledge base which can serve for different purposes then development and use of information systems.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to investigate user preferences for the information systems in order to achieve user satisfaction by using conjoint analysis. Design/methodology/approach – Conjoint analysis is applied for the measurement of user preferences on information systems by seven properties and three levels for each property. To apply the approach, two surveys were designed: the first survey investigates the main properties affecting the end-users' satisfaction for using the current information systems based upon literature review and expert interview in Phase I. The second survey weighed the preferences by the virtual profiles of the information systems, which represent the ideal systems. Findings – The results show that speed-related properties are critical to achieve the end-user satisfaction. The next important property group is related to the access control and system integration between various business modules. From the measurements, the best system file should be constructed with the highly weighed levels of the key attributes. Research limitations/implications – The virtual profiles are complex for respondents to understand the attributes and the compounds of the virtual products. Moreover, the respondents were overwhelmed by the number of virtual profiles. The attributes were required to enable communication between researchers and respondents. Practical implications – Information system designers can achieve user satisfaction by combining the highest utility levels of all attributes. Nonetheless, the trade-offs between attributes and their levels should be considered in order to apply the results to the business, depending on the system environments and business practices, by updating the importance of the determinants regularly. Originality/value – This study applied the conjoint analysis to information management systems in order to design and maintain user satisfaction for the targeted company. This paper will provide alternative ways for the system engineers and developers of the case company by considering the critical attributes, which will affect both user performance and satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
This article elaborates the benefits of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for small-to-midsize businesses. A large number of small-to-midsize engineering and manufacturing operations are now bringing enterprise resource planning systems into their operations. ERP software is distinct from a product lifecycle management application, which is where engineers store information about the product they’ve defined. ERP systems link design and manufacturing with business processes such as new orders, purchasing, credit, accounting, supply chain management, and planning. They stretch from business headquarters across production facilities, warehouses, and sales offices. By linking these operations, ERP helps executives understand and forecast all the factors—from sales and purchases to asset utilization and hiring—that might affect profits. An ERP system offers control over all areas of the business in one centralized place. Several developments are now helping smaller companies make the transition: costs for ERP systems are coming down, implementation is becoming easier, and systems are targeted to smaller players.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – In today’s complicated and competitive business environment, companies commonly use enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to integrate management information and enhance efficiency. In recent years, due to the development of cloud computing and portable devices, a new mobility era is starting. The popularity of smartphones and tablet computers has changed the behavior of mobile-phone users and enhanced the rapid development of mobile commerce. ERP companies have discovered this trend and want to provide more convenient services and develop more integrated functions for their ERP systems in which practitioners can operate and access company information through various mobile devices anywhere, anytime. However, mobile ERP is still in the development stage. On the whole there has been relatively little research into the framework and system implementation of mobile ERP until recently. The purpose of this paper is to propose a mobile ERP framework for the sales function in an ERP system. The authors also design a mobile type sales application based on an android-based mobile device. In addition, the authors provide sale practitioners and supervisors with a more convenient and rapider service interface in which they can quickly respond to customers’ needs. Design/methodology/approach – The authors develop a mobile ERP framework taking into account the requirements of sales and distribution modules. The proposed framework can directly access the ERP system and perform more efficiently than a web service-based framework since middleware services are not involved. Findings – For the purposes of demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed mobile ERP system, the authors examine three scenarios which are commonly used in world-wide integrated circuit (IC) design companies. In this kind of company, salespersons travel to various cities and collect sales information. The three various scenarios include: (A) sales order creation; (B) order status inquiry; (C) order modification. The results of simulation show that the mobile ERP system indeed enhances the efficiency of processing operations in sales and distribution modules, particularly for salespersons visiting outside offices and traveling world-wide. Research limitations/implications – The authors investigate and propose a mobile ERP framework for a world-wide ERP system company, SAP, which is a research limitation in the paper, since SAP ERP system is not installed for all companies. In addition, from this investigation, two possible concerns might be useful in further research. The first involves other modules may be included in the proposed mobile ERP framework. The second is the need to integrate other useful analysis systems, such as business intelligence, for a more complete mobile ERP system. Practical implications – To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed mobile ERP system, three various scenarios which are commonly used in world-wide IC design companies are considered. In addition, the comparisons of the typical procedures in terms of average processing time for existing ERP systems and the proposed mobile ERP system are provided. The simulation times finding show that the mobile ERP system indeed enhances the efficiency of processing operations in sales and distribution modules, particularly for the salespersons visiting outside offices and traveling world-wide. Social implications – The popularity of smartphones and tablet computers has changed the behavior of mobile-phone users and enhanced the rapid development of mobile commerce. Mobile ERP systems can provide more up-to-date information than typical ERP systems involving order-tracking, real-time stock quantity checking, and sales order creations since salespersons still can access or update their collected information wherever they are world-wide. The contributions of this paper have a great impact on behavior changes of mobile-phone users. It can enhance efficiency and quality of life for users. Originality/value – In the paper, the authors propose a mobile ERP framework for the sales function which can provide sale practitioners and supervisors a more convenient and rapider service interface in which they can quickly respond to customers’ needs. The proposed framework of mobile ERP perform more efficiently than typical ERP systems and a web service-based framework since middleware services are not involved.

Recently we can mention in the CR a step by step enterprise number increase in the area of production, transport services, services and financial organisations, which practically apply internal departments of controlling or audit into their managerial structures. That is why it is required to dedicate a wider publication space to the information on the role and principles of managerial instruments, which are provided by controlling and Internal Audit for business administration and financial management. The goal is to ensure a higher quality of preparation or response on the still emerging forms of our enterprises co-operation with foreign business subjects and to match step at the level of building and in particularly in effectiveness of business informational systems usage for managerial process (especially for planning and decision making procedures control) in all areas of business functions. Internal controlling instruments application and using results of risks evaluations by internal audit simultaneously contributes to the improvement of level and effectiveness of intra-enterprise monitoring as a modern conception of control usage in business management. Management level increase and increase of management competency are the conditions of ensuring our enterprises competitiveness.

Purpose The presence of women is lower than that of men in positions of responsibility in economic management in public administration, although there has been a more significant increase in local administration. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the application and development of the internal control system in local governments improves through the presence of women in positions of management and responsibility in these institutions. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a multivariate model that allows them to verify the predictive capability of their previously defined explanatory variable gender in 1,527 Spanish local governments. They analyze the empirical relation between the gender and internal control system by multivariate regression models. Findings The authors find that the presence of women in management positions in local governments affects internal control system influences as well as a series of financial and non-financial variables. They conclude that in local governments of more than 50,000 inhabitants, the presence of women in the management has a positive influence on internal control systems and also promotes transparency and a more effective fight against corruption, thus enhancing internal control systems. Research limitations/implications The presence of women in positions of management and responsibility in local government will favor a decrease of corruption in local governments and increase their efficiency and transparency. This study can facilitate women’s access to positions of more economic and financial responsibility in public administration, as well as improve the management and efficiency in these institutions. Originality/value This research is novel in that it determines whether the application and development of the internal control system in local governments improves through the presence of women in the position of management and responsibility in these institutions.

Organizations have production planning and control (PPC) processes supported by systems that execute, mainly, repetitive calculations. Based on these calculation results, decisions are taken by production managers. These decision processes make the connection between different levels of aggregation of information and could benefit from the increment of the level of automation. An increased level of application of business process modelling languages is proposed in order to contribute to increment the level of process automation and the detail of business analysis. Thus being, concepts of integration of production management processes, specifically of production planning and control processes are presented. These concepts, the application of business process modelling language (BPML) and some solutions of PPC integration compose the core content of this work. Additionally, criteria for evaluation of these processes of integration are identified and discussed. Finally, the presentation of an industrial case will be supported by BPML model.

Full textAbstract:
Modern business process management (BPM) is increasingly interesting for laboratory automation. End-to-end workflow automation and improved top-level systems integration for information technology (IT) and automation systems are especially prominent objectives. With the ISO Standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.X, a system-independent and interdisciplinary accepted graphical process control notation is provided, allowing process analysis, while also being executable. The transfer of BPM solutions to structured laboratory automation places novel demands, for example, concerning the real-time-critical process and systems integration. The article discusses the potential of laboratory execution systems (LESs) for an easier implementation of the business process management system (BPMS) in hierarchical laboratory automation. In particular, complex application scenarios, including long process chains based on, for example, several distributed automation islands and mobile laboratory robots for a material transport, are difficult to handle in BPMSs. The presented approach deals with the displacement of workflow control tasks into life science specialized LESs, the reduction of numerous different interfaces between BPMSs and subsystems, and the simplification of complex process modelings. Thus, the integration effort for complex laboratory workflows can be significantly reduced for strictly structured automation solutions. An example application, consisting of a mixture of manual and automated subprocesses, is demonstrated by the presented BPMS-LES approach.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the functionality developed by the authors of an intelligent software system for optimizing adaptive control of business planning processes in the face of uncertainty. The results are based on a new method for optimizing adaptive project management using network economic and mathematical modeling. Based on this method, a methodology has been developed for solving the problem of optimizing adaptive control of business planning processes, which in the proposed intelligent software decision support system uses a block containing an adaptive control optimization model. As the objective function (evaluation functional) in the method used, the value of the length of the time period for the execution of the business plan, which needs to be minimized, is considered. The method used allows you to create a class of acceptable strategies for adaptive control of the implementation process for the business plan in question. Within the framework of this class of strategies, an optimal adaptive control strategy for the implementation of business planning processes is formed, the optimal time for its implementation and the optimal schedule for implementing the business plan as a whole, and the corresponding optimal adaptive control strategies are calculated. Application of the proposed new method in an intelligent software system allows for feedback and optimal time for the implementation of the business project as a whole. The developed intelligent system is designed to automate the modeling of business planning processes and optimize adaptive decision-making control during their implementation on the basis of network economic and mathematical modeling, as well as methods and tools for developing intelligent soft systems. The created system takes into account the existing specific technical and economic conditions and information support. The results obtained in this work can serve as the basis for creating intelligent instrumental systems for supporting managerial decision-making in the implementation of business planning processes in the face of information uncertainty and risks.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship between the components of the management control system (MCS) based on the reform process of the management system of China Resources Group and the influence of these components on the implementation effect of MCS. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an exploratory research method and an open-ended grounded theory approach to conduct six formal investigations and several in-depth interviews with employees and senior management in China Resources Group. This paper supplements these data by performing a documentary analysis of the internal documents of China Resources Group such as the statistical yearbook, business plan and meeting records. Findings This study puts forward four propositions. The formal strategic planning process creates an application environment for the strategy map and balanced scorecard (BSC), making it easier for an enterprise to adopt these tools. The combination of the strategy map and formal strategic planning helps to build the logical relationship between strategic goals and budget goals and strengthens the correlation between budget and strategy. In diversified organizations applying MCS, the strategy map and BSC facilitate the implementation of the strategy for specialized business units, while the financial measure system facilitates the implementation of the strategy for diversified business units. Strategic boundaries based on financial measures in the MCS help organizations determine the scope of strategic choices before implementing strategies. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen research approach, the research results may lack generalizability and the influence of the strategic planning process on budget participation, budget slack and other budget behaviors has not been fully discussed. Therefore, future studies are expected to provide more evidence regarding strategic planning and budget behaviors. Practical implications Before establishing a strategy map and BSC, the enterprise should consider the application environment to ensure their feasibility and legitimacy and construct the BSC system under appropriate conditions. A formal strategic planning process should be formed within the enterprise; that is, a set of detailed management methods should be adopted and clear rules should be used to support the enterprise management control process. The enterprise should add strategic boundaries to the MCS to determine the scope of strategic choices and the budgeting bottom line. Originality/value This paper sheds light on the impact of the formal strategic planning process on the organization and contributes new evidence on the key success factors for implementing the strategy map and BSC, enriching the researchers’ understanding of the applicability of the BSC.

Several high-tech manufacturing technologies are emerging to meet the demand for mass customized products. These technologies include configurable robots, augmented reality and the Internet-of-Things. Manufacturing enterprises can leverage these new technologies to pursue increased flexibility, i.e., the ability to perform a larger variety of activities within a shorter time. However, the flexibility offered by these new technologies is not fully exploited, because current operations management techniques are not dynamic enough to support high variability and frequent change. The HORSE Project investigated several of the new technologies to find novel ways to improve flexibility, as part of the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. The purpose of the project was to develop a system, integrating these new technologies, to support efficient and flexible manufacturing. This article presents the core result of the project: a reference architecture for a manufacturing operations management system. It is based on the application and extension of business process management (BPM) to manage dynamic manufacturing processes. It is argued that BPM can complement current operations management techniques by acting as an orchestrator in manufacturing processes augmented by smart technologies. Building on well-known information systems’ architecting frameworks, design science research is performed to determine how BPM can be applied and adapted in smart manufacturing operations. The resulting reference architecture is realized in a concrete HORSE system and deployed and evaluated in ten practical cases, of which one is discussed in detail. It is shown that the developed system can flexibly orchestrate the manufacturing process through vertical control of all agents, and dynamic allocation of agents in the manufacturing process. Based on that, we conclude that BPM can be applied to overcome some of the obstacles toward increased flexibility and smart manufacturing.

Web services quality have become a significant part of small businesses who use it to facilitate the seamless flow of business transactions and financial growth. While previous research focused on the technological, operational and infrastructure capabilities such as; reducing the cost of application development, systems integration and increasing interoperability among heterogeneous software components, applications and platforms. Small businesses on the other hand, are often more challenged than larger firms by resource constraints such as; lack of financial capital, and technical or managerial skills. Further, they are often confronted with the reality of their business performance. “If you can't measure it, you can't manage it,” since effective performance management requires accurate performance measurement. The author applies the integrated evolved Enterprise-Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (E-DMAIC) balanced scorecard methodology to examine web services quality in a small business firm. The integrated framework applies the traditional balanced scorecard four perspectives namely; learning and growth, internal business processes, customer and financial perspectives and the nine stages of the E-DMAIC balanced scorecard approach along with quality indicators. The new approach serves three purposes; first, as a measurement system monitoring performance and the quality of their goods and services. Second, as a communication tool providing diagnostic feedback of their performance, and lastly, as a strategic management system focusing on the small business visions. The author then tests the framework via an exploratory case study and reports the findings. The findings contribute to guidelines that will inform, educate and promote small businesses on the importance of web services quality.

This research aims to develop a model that is able to integrate and objectify information provided by the different business valuation methods, incorporating quality management in its formal approach, which to date has not been considered in the literature about business valuation or quality management. Firstly, the company is valued using the methods which best adapt to its specific characteristics. Because of the subjectivity inherent in any valuation process, the results will be expressed through Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN). These Fuzzy Numbers will be aggregated and summarized by applying Basic Defuzzification Distribution Uncertain Probabilistic Ordered Weighted Averaging operator (BADD-UPOWA). The weighting factors will be: the degree of confidence in each of the business valuation methods applied, and the innovative use of the company’s position on Crosby’s Quality Administration Grid. The results from application of the model in a case study show a significant reduction in uncertainty in contrast to the initial valuations. Moreover, the proposed methodology is seen to increase the final value of the company as its advances in quality management.

In the first decade of the 21st century, China’s Research Community (CRC) is struggling to achieve better performance by increasing growth in knowledge quantity (e.g., publications), but has failed to generate sound growth in knowledge quality (e.g., citations). An innovative E-government project, Internet-based Science Information System (ISIS), was applied nationwide in 2003 with a variety of embedded incentives. The system has been well received and supports the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) to implement managerial control to cope with pressing demands relating to China’s research productivity. This paper explores the impact of Information Systems (IS) from the perspective of agency theory based on CRC empirical results. Since the nationwide application of ISIS in 2003, CRC outcomes have markedly improved. The discussion and directions for future research examine implications of IS for E-government implementation and business environment building in developing countries.

Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) system has become the standard for organizations to achieve collectiveness and better integration within a business set units/department. The ERP system creates the platform for integration of all business processes that guaranty immediate tracking of the business growth. For Large organization with multiple office locations, benefited more on ERP platforms as it integrates all their offices business processes on a real-time basis that give managers and top Executive an overall performance of the company or a snapshot of the company activities. It also provides the decision-makers quicker analysed information from their desktop to reach a conclusive decision for the smooth running of the organization [1]. It helps Management to control better and reposition the organization trend of doing things as its scoop information from various departments. This article will enable scholars to understand how ERP is implemented and its benefit for any organization setting.

Full textAbstract:
In the post-cloud era, edge computing is a new computing paradigm with data processed at the edge of the network, which can process the data close to the end-user in real time and offload the cloud task intelligently. Meanwhile, the decentralization, tamper-proof and anonymity of blockchain technology can provide a new trusted computing environment for edge computing. However, it does raise considerable concerns of security, privacy, fault-tolerance and so on. For example, identity authentication and access control rely on third parties, heterogeneous devices and different vendors in IoT, leading to security and privacy risks, etc. How to combine the advantages of the two has become the highlight of academic research, especially the issue of secure resource management. Comprehensive security and privacy involve all aspects of platform, data, application and access control. In. this paper, the architecture and behavior of an Access Management System (AMS) in a proof of concept (PoC) prototype are proposed with a Color Petri Net (CPN) model. The two domains of blockchain and edge computing are organically connected by interfaces and interactions. The simulation of operation, activity and role association proves the feasibility and effectiveness of the AMS. The instances of platform business access control, data access control, database services, IOT hub service are run on Advantech WISE-PaaS through User Account and Authentication (UAA). Finally, fine-grained and distributed access control can be realized with the help of a blockchain attribute. Namely, smart contracts are used to register, broadcast, and revoke access authorization, as well as to create specific transactions to define access control policies.
