Business Process Management (BPM) is a popular management discipline that is an important part of higher education programs. BPM-related education seeks to equip students with knowledge and skills to design, implement, analyze, improve and manage business processes in and among organizations. While most of BPM teachings provide prescriptive advise to ensure efficient business process work, little attention is brought to the organizational dynamics that unfold around business process work. For example, it has been observed that organizational actors may not enact processes in ways that are predefined in process models, and business processes can change in unintended ways over time. Why and under what circumstances do such behaviors occur? What other dynamics can occur? How can management consider such dynamics? In this project, we will approach these questions by designing an interdisciplinary reference curriculum that integrates theories and methods from the organizational studies (OS) to create and convey a more holistic understanding of BPM. Taking a descriptive stance on organizational work and exploring how and why organizations behave and change over time from, the field of OS offers a number of theories, methods and empirical studies that can be relevant to explain how business process work is carried out in organizations. Considering these insights in BPM education is highly relevant but a systematic integration of BPM and OS has not yet been done in research, practice or teaching.The proposed curriculum will support students in the acquisition and development of basic skills. First, this curriculum will shape their interdisciplinary skills to (1) design, (2) implement, and (3) manage business processes in practice.Second, we will equip students with competences to better cope with the demands of rapidly changing business environments. Since students will learn to be aware of dynamics that indicate a change of work practices, they will be able to take appropriate actions once they are involved in management activities.Finally, we will promote an interdisciplinary view of BPM. We will create partnerships between four European universities that have distinct and strong competences in BPM and/or OS. The integration of these two fields will result in innovative teaching activities that can be applied at universities across Europe.To develop an interdisciplinary reference curriculum that integrates BPM and organizational theory, this project has three major sub-objectives:1. We will establish an interdisciplinary foundation for the curriculum 2. We will develop a reference curriculum that integrates BPM and organizational theory. This will be an interdisciplinary 4 ECTS-university course that will entail presentation materials, hands-on exercises and other relevant materials.3. We will evaluate and disseminate the results.To ensure that the developed curriculum will address the needs of BPM while considering the most relevant theories from OS, this project will involve an interdisciplinary consortium that has expertise in BPM and/or OS:- The University of Liechtenstein (expertise in BPM and OS)- The Vienna University of Economics and Business (expertise in in BPM) - The University of Cologne (expertise in BPM and OS)- Radboud University (expertise in OS)To ensure that this interdisciplinary project runs smoothly and creates relevant results, we are planning to conduct five transnational project meetings that will take place at all participating universities in Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany and Netherlands.This project will generate impact in two important respects.First and foremost, it will have an impact on higher education. BPM is taught across European universities and the integration of OS into BPM education will provide students with a more holistic understanding of BPM. Since we will disseminate the outcomes of this project across our networks, and share our findings and insights on various online platforms, we expect that this project will be taken up by other universities (either as a whole curriculum, or parts of it).Second, in light of the many recent claims that BPM and OS have strong connections which can open up the paths for new research agendas, this project will have scholarly impact. Since the proposed project will constitute the first systematic attempt to bridge these two research fields, we are certain that there will be a strong and sustainable research-related impact.

<< Objectives >>We support the implementation of the EU's 2021 Digital Education Act and develop a secure, user-friendly, and high-quality learning environment through the creation of an online investment management game (IMAG) that can - through a combination of different modules - support digital and inclusive education on all levels (SCHOOL/HIGHER/ADULT EDUCATION) and fight financial illiteracy. To further the fight against climate change we set a specific focus on sustainable and impactful investment goals.<< Implementation >>We plan activities around four working packages (+ PM): (i) Game design, which includes activities pertaining to Market, Business, and Client Design(ii) Software development: Design of User Interfaces and the relevant server and software infrastructure(iii) Development of educational resources (manuals, training videos and mini-lecture series for sustainable investment theory)(iv) Dissemination including launch event, multi-country promotional tour, and international championship<< Results >>We plan to develop a fully functional, modularised online investment management game (IMAG), where members of different groups (SCHOOL/HIGHER/ADULT EDUCATION, PROFESSIONALS) play in small groups (inclusion and cooperation) against each other (competition attracts participation) to fulfill the sustainable investment needs of their clients. On top, we will develop educational resources around investment theory and sustainable/impact investing and develop a sophisticated dissemination strategy.

The main aim of the project is to improve Master Programme in Information Systems (MPIS) according to the needs of the modern society; to bring the universities closer to changes in global labour market and world education sphere; to enable them to stay responsive to employers’ needs; to give students an idea of various job profiles in the IS domain; to ensure employability throughout graduates’ professional and soft skills. Specific objectives of the project include improvement of Master Programme in IS according to the requirements of business; modernization of the current Degree Profile (DP) & curricula in IS. Degree Profile and Curricula revision will be implemented in accordance with the newest standards of Higher education and the compatibility with the National qualification frameworks; development of innovative academic environment for MPIS as a platform for training/retraining, PhD, LLL; provision/modernization of labs infrastructure for IS.MASTIS will enable the PC & EU Universities to modernize IS education based on the student-oriented principals, strong university-enterprise cooperation and modern approaches to the education. It will give the PC Universities an opportunity to prepare competitive specialists for Ukrainian, Montenegrin and global labour market.The following results of the project are considered major: MPIS Degree Profile & curriculum; teaching materials for MPIS; Degree Profile & curricula revision mechanism; joint Double Diploma Master programme; IT environment in PC HEIs; web portal for stakeholders; network of EU-PC universities & employers.In both partner countries and at the european level the impact of the project will take the form of university-enterprise networking. Both HEIs in general and business representatives will benefit from it because in global sense it will affect the development of national IT industry due to saturation of the labour market with quality IT professionals.
