Handbook of Research on Complex Dynamic Process Management : Techniques for Adaptability in Turbulent Environments

Business processes are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic as they seek to cope with a wide range of internal and external interactions and changes. The Handbook of Research on Complex Dynamic Process Management: Techniques for Adaptability in Turbulent Environments investigates the nature and history of dynamic processes essential to understanding the need for flexibility and adaptability as well as the requirements to improve solutions. This innovative collection covers the development of various strategies, architectures, and techniques for achieving adaptive processes in environments.
