The individual perceptions, culture and value orientations, either consciously or unconsciously, might be responsible for fictitious and problematic elements included in a Business Process Models. In this article we are borrowing a study developed for information systems modeling, that we believe can put new perspectives in our field of study. Abstraction and mental representation are crucial stages in the process of modeling. Schichl and Pidd concur that a model is a represe

The objectives of systems modeling include representing the main functionalities of interconnected elements as well as supporting the redesign, improvement, and introduction of innovations in real operations systems. In systems modeling, there are several fields of research that can be grouped into two main approaches: functionalist and interpretative. In the functionalist perspective, the system is represented by quantitative methods for studying and simulating its performan
