In the area of business continuity management, a preliminary review of the literature reveals extensive
knowledge, expertise and experience concerning organisations in the private and public sectors. It is
interesting to note, however, that there is little literature about business continuity management in
international organisations, although these entities are complex and particularly prone to threats. This
apparent absence of literature suggests that business continuity management has not yet hit the agenda
of international organisations. In recent years, member states have encouraged senior management to
design and implement business continuity strategies to minimise the mishandling of an internal crisis and
build organisational resilience, but very few of them have actually been able to design and implement
comprehensive business continuity programmes. Based on actual experience working in international
organisations, this paper outlines some of the challenges faced by international organisations in
developing and implementing business continuity activities and attempts to make suggestions for further
improvement. (https://www.google.com/search?q=isbn:%20%221749-9216%22)

Innovation in business model design is attracting increasing attention from companies. This article
develops a road map that will enable firms to choose from one of four types of generic business models
as their primary focus and then go through a systematic process to consider multiple design configurations
for their business model and use decision protocols to choose the design that has a high probability of
success. (https://www.google.com/search?q=isbn:%20%2200081256%22)

Business strategies, which imply organisational change, usually require the development of projects, e.g.
IT projects. However, organisations fail in implementing their strategies even though they employ project,
programme and portfolio management techniques. Benefits Realisation Management (BRM) is a set of
processes structured to close the gap between strategy planning and execution by ensuring the
implementation of the most valuable initiatives. However, there is no empirical evidence of its
effectiveness. This paper presents the results of a survey to practitioners in Brazil, United Kingdom and
United States evaluating the impact of BRM practices on project success rate. Our results show BRM
practices being positive predictors to project success on the creation of strategic value for the business.
Therefore, these results suggest that BRM practices can be effective to support the successful execution
of business strategies. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2014.03.011)

Efficient resource behavior measure in business process management is a real and challenging problem.
It reflects the actual situations in business process execution from resource perspective and is highly
relevant for the business process performance. This paper presents an approach of measuring resource
behavior from four important perspectives, i.e.; preference, availability, competence and cooperation,
based on process mining. Furthermore, this paper shows how business process management can benefit
from resource behavior measure. In particular, four applications are addressed to demonstrate the
applicability of resource behavior measure in business process management. The presented approach is
evaluated based on a proof-of-concept implementation and its application to a real case form health-care.
The results show that the proposed approach is possible to improve current state of business process
management. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2011.12.061)
Every organization is exposed to several risks (e.g. cyber-attacks and disruptions caused by natural
disasters). To respond to these risks properly, an effective risk management system should be
implemented. Business continuity management is one of the most recent risk management frameworks,
which enables the organizations to improve their resilience in order to cope with the identified risks. Risk
assessment is one of the main parts of a business continuity management system (BCMS). In this paper,
an enhanced risk assessment framework is proposed within the context of BCMS while accounting for
specific steps and requirements of a BCMS. The proposed framework benefits from a suite of analytic
techniques to enhance and facilitate the risk assessment and management within the well-known four-
step framework (i.e. identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and responding to risks). The results of applying
the proposed framework in a real case study demonstrate that it can effectively handle risk assessment
and management process when implementing BCMS in an organization.
