This study provides an empirical analysis of workflow–structure alignment, with particular emphasis on coordination and governance mechanisms as means of integrating fragmented functional activities. Drawing on Business Process Management (BPM) and socio-technical systems theory, alignment is conceptualized as the integration of organizational struct...

This article identified the issue of electronic waste (e-waste) management in Kochi, India, amongst the country's rapid technological growth and escalating electronic consumption. It highlights the severe environmental and health risks of improper e-waste disposal, particularly in the informal recycling sector, which dominates India's recycling landscape. The article emphasises the need for a transformative shift from the existing cradle-to-grave (C2G) system to a Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) model for circular e-waste ...

This study examines how organizational structure and workflow/process design can be aligned in information-intensive organizations through Business Process Management, workflow standardization, digital automation, and adaptive governance. The study develops and evaluates the Adaptive Workflow–Structure Integration Model, which integrates structural standardization, digitally orchestrated workflows, and governance mechanisms into a unified socio-technical framework. The model is applied in a document-intensive or...

Purpose Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, posing urgent environmental and social challenges, particularly in emerging economies where recycling infrastructure is underdeveloped and informal recycling practices dominate. This article examines how circular economy (CE) principles can be applied to enhance e- waste supply chains and promote sustainable management. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review (SLR) of 50 peer-reviewed articles published betw...
