Despite years of experience in business process change (BPC) implementations, organizations involved in such projects frequently fail to achieve their intended goals. Such failures have severe consequences for the respective organization, ranging from a loss of competitive advantage to financial losses or even extinction. This thesis argues that one of the major causes of the high failure rates in BPC projects is an insufficient understanding of dynamic and complex interactions arising from BPC project factors and their relationships. Therefore, this thesis explores the dynamic complexities inherent in BPC projects by proposing a simulation approach. This thesis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of BPC’s important effects, interrelationships and complex feedback loops.
