Sommario/riassunto

In a certain sense characteristic functions and correlation functions are the same, the common underlying concept is positive definiteness. Many results in probability theory, mathematical statistics and stochastic processes can be derived by using these functions. While there are books on characteristic functions of one variable, books devoting some sections to the multivariate case, and books treating the general case of locally compact groups, interestingly there is no book devoted entirely to the multidimensional case which is extremely important for applications. This book is intended to fill this gap at least partially. It makes the basic concepts and results on multivariate characteristic and correlation functions easily accessible to both students and researchers in a comprehensive manner. The first chapter



presents basic results and should be read carefully since it is essential for the understanding of the subsequent chapters. The second chapter is devoted to correlation functions, their applications to stationary processes and some connections to harmonic analysis. In Chapter 3 we deal with several special properties, Chapter 4 is devoted to the extension problem while Chapter 5 contains a few applications. A relatively large appendix comprises topics like infinite products, functional equations, special functions or compact operators.

Introduction to Business Process Management Maturity Models -- Historical Paths to BPM -- Describing Theory of the Stable State Work System -- Comparison of the BPM and ERP Initiatives -- Introduction to the Customer-Centric Approach.

Sommario/riassunto

Business Process Management (BPM) has become a widely adopted management approach, prompting significant investments by private and public companies since 2000. Since neither the concept of BPM nor the factors leading to successful BPM initiatives are grounded in theory and also lack empirical support, Tahvo Hyötyläinen explores what business value BPM and BPM Systems can cause and how they can bring about improved firm performance. The author’s main implication is to show how to enhance the probability of success with BPM and its Systems. His research also adds to the understanding on how to



increase customer-centricity – an empirically supported yet less studied direction of BPM. Contents Introduction to Business Process Management Maturity Models Historical Paths to BPM Describing Theory of the Stable State Work System Comparison of the BPM and ERP Initiatives Introduction to the Customer-Centric Approach Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of information science and management science Enterprise and process architects The Author Tahvo Hyötyläinen has completed his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Prof. Pertti Järvinen, University of Tampere. He works as a Senior Architect in the fields of business and software architectures and development. The Editors The series Advances in Information Systems and Business Engineering is edited by Ulrike Baumöl, Jan vom Brocke and Reinhard Jung.
