(Awie) henk.pretorius@up.ac.za Strydom, Ian Pretorius, Hendrik Willem Corporate governance Regulatory changes Legislative changes Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) UCTD Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2014. Corporate governance has been heavily criticised because of failures of companies across the globe. In response to these failures, legislative and regulatory changes have been introduced. However, sceptics argue that compliance to these legislative and regulatory acts is costly and time consuming, contributing to overregulation. Furthermore, these measures lack business value and there is no guarantee that adherence to these measures can be enforced. This thesis presents an argument for the better utilisation of electronic means and specifically Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) in support of corporate governance. Orlikowski’s theory of “Technologies-in-Practice” is applied as theoretical underpinning to guide the research process. This thesis follows an interpretive research paradigm approach to gain insight and understanding of how the King principles for governance, can be inscribed into BPMSs and their components to improve corporate governance in South Africa. The theory of Orlikowski supports the structuration perspective of the research phenomenon. During this study, data was collected from a BPMS vendor company and seven South African BPMS user companies. After following a process of triangulation, the research findings were used to propose a theoretical framework that explains the utilisation of BPMSs in support of corporate governance in South Africa. Finally, a theoretical framework, reviewed by experts from the domains of corporate governance and business process management, is presented. gm2014 Informatics unrestricted 2014-07-17T12:09:57Z 2014-07-17T12:09:57Z 2014-04-11 2014 Thesis Pretorius, HW 2014, Towards a theoretical framework to support corporate governance through the use of a Business Process Management System : a South African perspective, PhD thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/40824> D14/4/310/gm http://hdl.handle.net/2263/40824 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
