Abstract

The aim of the paper is to propose the concept of the Knowledge and Process Continuum, which corresponds to the changing role of Business Process Management (BPM) in Knowledge Intensive Organizations in the Knowledge Economy. The paper is conceptual in nature and is grounded in the theories of Knowledge Management (KM) and BPM. The systematic literature review method was used in order to employ a manual search of peer‐reviewed papers available in the Springer and ProQuest databases. Seventeen articles were chosen for in‐depth analysis, which shows the research gap with respect to the integrated application of KM and BPM. The article is an inspiring contribution to the theoretical reflection on the current state and further evolution of BPM in the Knowledge Economy and its inseparable connection with KM. The proposed conceptual framework may facilitate the management of Knowledge Intensive Organizations to effectively capitalize on the relationship between knowledge and business processes of different nature.
