Using Process Mining to Study Business Phenomena
Process Mining is a novel family of automatic analysis technique that extract interesting insights from event log data and projects them onto process models. So far, research on process mining has focused on developing better algorithms to analyze processes. In this talk, we will demonstrate that process mining techniques also bear the potential to study phenomena of organizational science. To this end, we explain the foundations of process mining and show how it can be used to highlight routine dynamics.
