  abstract     = {{Megatrends, such as digitization or sustainability, are confronting the product management of manufacturing companies with a variety of challenges regarding the design of future products, but also the management of the actual products. To successfully position their products in the market, product managers need to gather and analyze comprehensive information about customers, developments in the products’ environment, product usage, and more. The digitization of all aspects of life is making data on these topics increasingly available – via social media, documents, or the internet of things from the products themselves. The systematic collection and analysis of these data enable the exploitation of new potentials for the adaption of existing products and the creation of the products of tomorrow. However, there are still no insights into the main concepts and cause-effect relationships in exploiting data-driven approaches for product management. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the main concepts and advantages of data-driven product management. To answer the corresponding research questions a comprehensive systematic literature review is conducted. From its results, a detailed description of the main concepts of data-driven product management is derived. Furthermore, a taxonomy for the advantages of data-driven product management is presented. The main concepts and the taxonomy allow for a deeper understanding of the topic while highlighting necessary future actions and research needs.}},

  abstract     = {{The global megatrends of digitization and sustainability lead to new challenges for the design and management of technical products in industrial companies. Product management - as the bridge between market and company - has the task to absorb and combine the manifold requirements and make the right product-related decisions. In the process, product management is confronted with heterogeneous information, rapidly changing portfolio components, as well as increasing product, and organizational complexity. Combining and utilizing data from different sources, e.g., product usage data and social media data leads to promising potentials to improve the quality of product-related decisions. In this paper, we reinforce the need for data-driven product management as an interdisciplinary field of action. The state of data-driven product management in practice was analyzed by conducting workshops with six manufacturing companies and hosting a focus group meeting with experts from different industries. We investigate the expectations and derive requirements leading us to open research questions, a vision for data-driven product management, and a research agenda to shape future research efforts.}},

  abstract     = {{Business Process Management is a boundary-spanning discipline that aligns operational capabilities and technology to design and manage business processes. The Digital Transformation has enabled human actors, information systems, and smart products to interact with each other via multiple digital channels. The emergence of this hyper-connected world greatly leverages the prospects of business processes – but also boosts their complexity to a new level. We need to discuss how the BPM discipline can find new ways for identifying, analyzing, designing, implementing, executing, and monitoring business processes. In this research note, selected transformative trends are explored and their impact on current theories and IT artifacts in the BPM discipline is discussed to stimulate transformative thinking and prospective research in this field.}},
