Abstract. The main aim of the proposed research is to identify factors that create an environment conducive to successful Business Process Management (BPM) adoption. Factors predicting successful BPM adoption have been identified within the TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework using a literature review and methodology for constructing conceptual frameworks. The following factors are proposed: top management support for previous projects of organizational change, complexity of BPM system and notation, satisfaction with existing systems, business-IT alignment level, perceived strategic benefits of using BPM, extent of coordination, organizational readiness, performance measurement, culture conducive to organizational change, and, perceived environmental pressure. Study results have the potential to fill the research gap by contributing to the development of a theoretical model of BPM adoption that has not been proposed in studies thus far. In practical aspects, the proposed study can influence the understanding of the factors predicting successful BPM adoption.
