1 Introduction Although Keen and Scott Morton already differentiated between highly structured, semistructured and unstructured processes in 1978, until today there is only little attention to the specific characteristics of these types of business processes.
Therefore it can be concluded that in order to achieve optimization it is fundamental to analyze the environmental factors. An in-depth analysis reveals that an optimized execution and an optimized outcome depend more on the environment of the processes than on an optimized sequence. The analysis shows that the network exhibits processes were conventional modeling methods fail to generate meaningful results. This paper presents the results of a process analysis in a research network covering highly cooperative processes. 1 Process Modeling for Network Organizations The Impact of the Process Environment Stefan Große Böckmann*, Jan vom Brocke*, Kai Riemer #, Daniel Richter* * Martin Hilti Chair of Information Systems and Business Process Management, Institute of Information Systems, University of Liechtenstein, Hochschule Liechtenstein, Fürst-Franz-Josef-Straße FL-9490 Vaduz, Fürstentum Liechtenstein # European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) Universität Münster, Leonardo Campus 3 D Münster, Deutschland Abstract: Attention to the specific characteristics of rather unstructured processes and the consequences for the modeling of these processes can only rarely be observed.
