Popis: The organizational processes, also known as business processes, have became a fundamental structure for the management of the modern organizations. Knowing the work flow of the organization is a necessary condition for the development of continuous improvement processes. The benefits and advantages provided by the use of an approach based on BPM (Business Processes Management) are evident. The benefits include improvements in efficiency, quality and flexibility, besides other aspects generating sustainable competitive advantages. There is a wide range of studies on BPM, which display several definitions and elements characterizing the various applications. This work aims to propose a conceptual framework for interconnection between BPM elements, thus providing a better understanding of organizational processes and performance in organizational management environment. As a result, a group of BPM elements is identified and classified in: methodologies, techniques and tools which are a part of or can be efficiently connected to BPM conceptual structure. A framework for conceptual interconnection between those elements is also provided. The results of BPM application are not limited to the search for operational efficiency, but might also be considered as an element to support the organizational management.
