This book is positioned as a rst in a series of books on enterprise architecture needed for a Master of Enterprise Architecture program, and is targeted both at university students and practitioners with a drive to increase their understanding of these elds. As an introductory book, this book aims to explore the concept of enterprise architecture. At rst glance, writing such an introductory book might seem as a straight forward task of setting up a structure and lling in “the blanks. ” However, writing this book turned out to be a pleasant journey of discovery. Based on our past experiences, each of us had a clear understanding of enterprise architecture, based on several years of experi...
This volume serves a resource for the design and analysis of neuroprosthetic supersystems, which can be defined as organizations – either small or large, simple or complex – whose human members have been neuroprosthetically augmented. While numerous other texts focus on the biomedical engineering of neuroprostheses as technological devices or on the biocybernetic engineering of the host-device system comprising a neuroprosthesis and its human host, this volume presents a unique investigation of the intentional creation of higher-order supersystems that allow multiple neuroprosthetically augmented human beings to interact with one another and with external information systems in order to ...
The expectation for the future of the 21st century enterprise is complexity and agility. In this digital age, business processes are scattered not only throu- out the labyrinth of their own enterprises, but also across di?erent enterprises, and even beyond the national boundaries. An evidence of this is the gr- ing phenomenon of business process outsourcing. Increasing competition, higher customer demands, and emerging technologies require swift adaptation to the changes. To understand, design, and engineer a modern enterprise (or an enterprise network) and its interwoven business processes, an engineering and systematic approach based on sound and rigorous theories and methodologies is nece...
the virtually unlimited possibilities of modern information and communication technology. Future enterprises will therefore have to operate in an ever more dynamic and global environment. They need to be more agile, more adaptive, and more transparent. In addition, they will be held more publicly accountable for every e?ect they produce. These challenges are traditionally addressed by black-box thinking-based knowledge, i.e., knowledge concerning the function and the behavior of ent- prises, as contained in the organizational sciences. Such knowledge is su?cient, and perfectly adequate, for managing an enterprise (within the range of c- trol). However, it is de?nitely inadequate for changing an enterprise. In order to bring about changes, white-box-based knowledge is needed, i.e., knowledge concerning the construction and the operation of enterprises. Developing and applying such knowledge requires no less than a paradigm shift in our thi- ing about enterprises, since the organizational sciences are dominantly oriented toward organizational behavior, based on black-box thinking.
Dit boek beschrijft het GEA-model: General Enterprise Architecturing, met als kernwaarden: sturen op samenhang, strategisch stuurinstrument, bestuurlijke besluitvorming, organisatiebrede vormgeving, vraagstukgestuurde integrale oplossingen, open model en permanente synchronisatie. Achttien grote organisaties hebben een jaar gewerkt aan het ontwikkelen van deze visie op sturen op samenhang en twaalf organisaties hebben vervolgens gedurende twee jaar die visie doorontwikkeld naar een concreet strategisch stuurinstrument. Dit ontwikkelpad maakt dat GEA een instrument is geworden dat met beide benen op de grond staat. Dit boek doet verslag van de expeditie hoe tot dit nieuwe gedachtegoed is gekomen en legt in begrijpelijke taal uit hoe het instrument in elkaar zit en kan worden toegepast. Daarnaast wordt de toepassing toegelicht aan de hand van een aantal praktijksituaties.
This proceedings book presents selected papers from the 10th international conference on the "Economies of the Balkan and Eastern European Countries in the Changing World" (EBEEC), held in Warsaw, Poland, in May 2018. In addition to discussing the latest research, it includes papers adopting a wide variety of theoretical approaches and empirical methodologies and covering a number of key areas, such as international economics, economic growth, finance and banking, insurance, healthcare, agriculture, labor and energy markets, innovation, management and marketing. In addition, the authors discuss policy instruments and best practices for the region. This book appeals to scholars and students in fields of economics and finance as well as practitioners interested in the development of the region.
Das Management der Unternehmensarchitektur ist ein wichtiges Instrument fur die systematische und ganzheitliche Gestaltung und Veranderung der fundamentalen Strukturen von Unternehmen und Behorden. In diesem Zusammenhang dienen Modelle der Unternehmensarchitektur zur Dokumentation von Ist- und Soll-Zustanden und bieten somit eine Analysegrundlage von aktuellen und zukunftigen Unternehmensstrukturen. Nachdem sich Unternehmensarchitekturmodelle fur die Darstellung des Ist-Zustands in Unternehmen etabliert haben, werden diese zunehmend auch fur die Planung von Veranderungen genutzt. In diesem Bereich mangelt es jedoch noch an methodischer Unterstutzung. Die vorliegende, kumulierte Dissertation ...
Sebastian Herden präsentiert das Konzept des Model-Driven-Configuration-Managements (MDCM) zur Schließung der identifizierten semantischen Lücke zwischen Unternehmensarchitektur und IT-Konfiguration. Die grundlegende Idee des vorgestellten MDCM-Konzepts zur nahtlosen Integration von Enterprise-Architecture-Management und IT-Konfigurationsmanagement im IT-Betrieb ist es, einen Model-Driven-Engineering-Ansatz zu entwickeln. Das Ziel des MDCM ist neben der Ausrichtung der resultierenden IT-Konfiguration an den Geschäftsprozessen eines Unternehmens und der nachvollziehbaren und transparenten Gestaltung die Unabhängigkeit der Qualität von individuellem Wissen.
Alexander Becker untersucht die Frage des Mehrwerts von SOA-basierten Systemen sowohl aus Sicht von Anwendern, als auch von Herstellern. Die umfangreiche Darstellung einer empirischen Untersuchung zur bisherigen Erfahrungen mit dem SOA-Einsatz in beiden Zielgruppen kann Entscheidungsträgern als interessante Datengrundlage zur individuellen Bewertung einer SOA-Adoption dienen.
