Business Activity is a part of a business process consisting of a series of
activities implemented across workflow systems, ERP systems and legacy
applications, possibly across organizational boundaries. Business
activities have usually individual dependencies just as
generic activities do [PO-JRA-1.2.1]. In contrast to the general meaning in business and economics, a business activity in BPM details a part of a business process. |

The aggregate economic activities (buying, selling,
renting, investing) of an organization or of the commercial and
manufacturing sectors of an
economy [BusinessDictionary]. Business Activity is an individual activity or unit of work performed in the business. An activity can be either continuous in nature (function) or discontinuous (process). A business activity performs a transformation with adding value to the product or service [INTEROP]. |
