In dit boek vindt u een beknopte weergave van de ideeën en plannen behorende bij de eerste twee lectoraten van het Kenniscentrum voor Procesinnovatie. In het eerste deel behandelt lector Extended Enterprise Studies Johan Versendaal het concept van de extended enterprise en belangrijke aandachtsgebieden daarbij zoals inkoopvolwassenheid, procesdenken, en e-business ontwikkelingen. Het succes van een extended enterprise is voor een groot deel afhankelijk van de kwaliteit van de architectuur en architecten die de bedrijfsvoering ondersteunen. Dit is dan ook het thema van het tweede deel van dit boek. Hierin neemt lector Architectuur voor Digitale Informatiesystemen Wiebe Wiersema u mee op een tocht die gaat van de opkomst van architectuur tot de knelpunten die zich voordoen binnen het hedendaagse informaticaonderwijs
The debate on tourism in cities, both academically and in practice, has for a long time taken place in relative isolation from urban studies. Tourism is mostly addressed as an external agent and economic force that puts pressure on cities rather than as an interdependent part of city systems. The recent debate on city touristification and excessive dependence on the visitor economy, as well as the associated processes of exclusion, and displacement of local city users, serves to highlight how tourism is an integral part of urban developments. A wider urban perspective is needed to understand the processes underlying the tourism phenomena and more transdisciplinary perspectives are required to analyze the urban (tourism) practices. The current article seeks to contribute to such a perspective through a discussion of the literature on urban and tourism studies, and related fields such as gentrification, mobilities, and touristification. Based on this, theoretical reflections are provided regarding a more integral perspective to tourism and urban development in order to engage with a transversal urban tourism research agenda.

The relationship between project management and sustainable development is rapidly gaining interest from both practitioners and academics. Studies on the integration of the concepts of sustainability into project management, approach this topic mostly from a conceptual, logical or moral point of view. Given the fact that the relationship between sustainability and project management is still an emerging field of study, these approaches make sense. However, they do not diminish the need for more empirical studies to understand how the concepts of sustainable development are implemented in practice. This paper reports an analysis of 56 case studies on the integration of the concepts of sustainability in the way organizations initiate, develop and manage projects. The research question of the study was: To what extent, do organizations consider the concepts of sustainability in the initiation, development and management of projects? The study uses the maturity model for sustainability integration that was presented at the 2010 IPMA World Congress for the assessment of the level of sustainability consideration. The study found an overall average level of sustainability consideration in the actual situation of 25.9%. For the desired situation, this score is almost 10 percent higher, showing an ambition to take sustainability more into consideration. The study also showed that the way sustainability currently is considered, shows the traditional ‘less bad’ approach to sustainability integration and not a more modern social responsibility approach.
