business process (redirected from Methods of doing business)

business process

An action taken in the course of conducting business. Whether manual or automated, all processes require input and generate output. Depending on the level of viewing and modeling, a process can be a single task or a complicated procedure such as building a product.

In a business information system, a business process is the application of a business transaction against a database (transaction vs. master). See business process modeling and information system.
