Overview

Enterprise modeling is the primary tool used in business reengineering. Historically, the number one problem with enterprise modeling has been the lack of formulation. Getting Results with the Object-Oriented Enterprise Model tackles this dilemma head-on and prescribes a formal methodology based on object technology. This book will help you create a reliable enterprise model by assessing the enterprise's current operations as well as its future operations. Developing the model within the context of object-orientation will provide a perfect framework, as each object will represent a behavior that is analogous to the issues addressed within the model and the enterprise itself. Then Getting Results with the Object-Oriented Enterprise Model will help you prioritize and execute the changes suggested by the model. The authors of Getting Results with the Object-Oriented Enterprise Model synthesize paradigms from general business theory, conceptual modeling, information theory, computer theory, and business theory to develop a comprehensive and formal description of the enterprise that works. By combining their considerable expertise in both IT and business theory, the authors are able to define the rigorous methodology needed to successfully model any enterprise.

Developing a formal methodology of enterprise modeling, this book synthesizes the current thinking in many diverse fields from general systems theory, conceptual modeling, information theory, computer science and business theory to develop a formal description of the enterprise and a rigorous methodology for modeling it.
