Revenue management information systems are very important in the hospitality sector. Revenue decisions can be better prepared based on different information from different information systems and decision strategies. There is a lack of research about the usage of such systems in small and medium-sized hotels and architectural configurations. Our paper empirically shows the current development of revenue information systems. Furthermore, we define future developments and requirements to improve such systems and the architectural base.
An enormous amount of data in the context of business processes is stored as images. They contain valuable information for business process management. Up to now this data had to be integrated manually into the business process. By advances of capturing it is possible to extract information from an increasing number of images. Therefore, we systematically investigate the potentials of Image Mining for business process management by a literature research and an in-depth analysis of the business process lifecycle. As a first step to evaluate our research, we developed a prototype for recovering process model information from drawings using Rapidminer.
Digitization is more than using digital technologies to transfer data and perform computations and tasks. Digitization embraces disruptive effects of digital technologies on economy and society. To capture these effects, two perspectives are introduced, the product and the value-creation perspective. In the product perspective, digitization enables the transition from material, static products to interactive and configurable services. In the value-creation perspective, digitization facilitates the transition from centralized, isolated models of value creation, to bidirectional, co-creation oriented approaches of value creation.
Digitalization and enterprise architecture management: a perspective on benefits and challenges
(2023)
Many companies digitally transform their business models, processes, and services. They have also been using Enterprise Architecture Management approaches for a long time to synchronize corporate strategy and information technology. Such digitalization projects bring different challenges for Enterprise Architecture Management. Without understanding and addressing them, Enterprise Architecture Management projects will fail or not deliver the expected value. Since existing research has not yet addressed these challenges, they were investigated based on a qualitative expert study with leading industry experts from Europe. Furthermore, potential benefits of digitalization projects for Enterprise Architecture Management were researched. Our results provide a theoretical framework consisting of five identified challenges, triggers and a number of benefits. Furthermore, we discuss in what ways digitalization and EAM is a promising topic for future research.
Digital enterprise architecture management in tourism : state of the art and future directions
(2018)
The advance of information technology impacts tourism more than many other industries, due to the service character of its products. Most offerings in tourism are immaterial in nature and challenging in coordination. Therefore, the alignment of IT and strategy and digitization is of crucial importance to enterprises in tourism. To cope with the resulting challenges, methods for the management of enterprise architectures are necessary. Therefore, we scrutinize approaches for managing enterprise architectures based on a literature research. We found many areas for future research on the use of enterprise architecture in tourism.
Platforms and their surrounding ecosystems are becoming increasingly important components of many companies' strategies. Artificial Intelligence, in particular, has created new opportunities to create and develop ecosystems around the platform. However, there is not yet a methodology to systematically develop these new opportunities for enterprise development strategy. Therefore, this paper aims to lay a foundation for the conceptualization of Artificial Intelligence-based service ecosystems exploiting a Service-Dominant Logic. The basis for conceptualization is the study of value creation and particularly effective network effects. This research investigates the fundamental idea of extending specific digital concepts considering the influence of Artificial Intelligence on the design of intelligent services, along with their architecture of digital platforms and ecosystems, to enable a smooth evolutionary path and adaptability for human-centric collaborative systems and services. The paper explores an extended digital enterprise conceptual model through a combined, iterative, and permanent task of co-creating value between humans and intelligent systems as part of a new idea of cognitively adapted intelligent services.
Data analysis is becoming increasingly important to pursue organizational goals, especially in the context of Industry 4.0, where a wide variety of data is available. Here numerous challenges arise, especially when using unstructured data. However, this subject has not been focused by research so far. This research paper addresses this gap, which is interesting for science and practice as well. In a study three major challenges of using unstructured data has been identified: analytical know-how, data issues, variety. Additionally, measures how to improve the analysis of unstructured data in the industry 4.0 context are described. Therefore, the paper provides empirical insights about challenges and potential measures when analyzing unstructured data. The findings are presented in a framework, too. Hence, next steps of the research project and future research points become apparent.
