Paper Abstract:
|
Although there are several applications of Activity Theory to the study of collaborative work there is no single approach that enables to obtain the Activity diagram from Organization Ontological Business Process. This article presents a proposal of a method to obtain Activity diagrams from the business process. The proposal links ontological business transactions, described in ? theory developed by Dietz, and activity diagrams, proposed by Engeström, covering various components of a particular activity, participants, work rules and social tools used and goals and motives of an Activity. For validation purposes, this proposal was applied in a real case study. The result showed that the usage of Organization Ontological Business Process provides a basis for initial analysis of existing organization activities. However some aspects are not present in the Ontological Business Process, such as the tools that mediate the action of subjects with the objective activity. |
