Blockchain and Internet of Things for Business Process Management: Theory, Challenges, and Key Success Factors

The combination of business process management (BPM) and emerging technologies is a logical step. The evolving number of advanced technologies shows that contributions are with a high value for business processes. From a BPM point of view, value creation from the modern technologies such as Internet of things and Blockchain technology is pivotal on a progressively higher scale and affect the business process in different aspects. However, current research in this area still at the beginning. In order to close this research gap and the lack of experience in this area, the topic of integrating Blockchain and IoT technologies with BPM will play an essential role in a corporate context, particularly in the context of inter/intra-organizational information systems and their diverse design options. This review paper aims to survey the impact of tow emerging technologies: Internet of Things and Blockchain technology on BPM and illustrates the current state of the art in this research domain. Each technology was investigated through a design science research approach to provide as a descriptive theoretical overview, characterize its theoretical background, challenges, and key success factors.
