Conceptualizing and Measuring Interdependence between Organizational Routines

In theory and in practice, processes and routines are often treated as independent entities. Recent field research has begun to suggest ways that routines are interdependent, and information systems have been identified as a key aspect of the phenomenon. However, we are lacking good ways to conceptualize and measure this important construct. In this research-in-progress report, we describe a software artifact that uses data from workflow event logs to measure interdependence within and between routines. We demonstrate this artifact and discuss plans for on-going research.
