TL;DR: As a scientific and professional discipline, the design of enterprise systems has undergone an impressive development and has achieved a well-established practice with clearly defined phases, tasks and methods but is challenged by increased complexity in their operations, externally imposed uncertainties and even unforeseeable events.
Abstract: As a scientific and professional discipline, the design of enterprise systems has undergone an impressive development. Today, it has achieved a well-established practice with clearly defined phases, tasks and methods. However, enterprises are challenged by increased complexity in their operations, externally imposed uncertainties and even unforeseeable events. Dynamic global operations call for speedy and effective responses to change. As a consequence, enterprises are challenged to adopt new approaches.

TL;DR: The development of a High-Tech Product requires new and innovative ideas based on the creativity of the developers and the research accomplishments in the relevant field, careful selection of the best solution taking into consideration the global markets, the available and required knowledge of the participants.
Abstract: The development of a High-Tech Product requires the following ingredients: new and innovative ideas based on the creativity of the developers and the research accomplishments in the relevant field, careful selection of the best solution taking into consideration the global markets, the available and required knowledge of the participants, an assessment of the costs, development time, manufacturing capacities, adaptability of the work structures integrated into the development and design network.

TL;DR: The National Criteria and GCSE CDT: Technology have not kept pace with the progress of language, whereas the APU and the Design and Technology Working Group have an understanding, with the implications, of modelling 2, albeit fifteen years after the Open University's "Technology Foundation Course" for teachers as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The National Criteria and GCSE CDT: Technology have not kept pace with the progress of language, whereas the APU and the Design and Technology Working Group have an understanding, with the implications, of modelling 2, albeit fifteen years after the Open University's ‘Technology Foundation Course’ for teachers. The Consultation Report Group has had the benefit of the insight given by the APU and the Design and Technology Working Group, but, it has not seen the probity and necessity of modelling 2. A summary of these documents in this five year period is presented in Table 2. It shows succinctly how the words model and modelling, from Table 1, have been used or implied.
