Enterprise Modelling — The Readiness of the Organization

TLDR: In this article, the authors propose to model an enterprise as a group of objects (i.e., people, tools, materials, etc.), which interact with each other, and find that this approach is somewhat realistic, modelling an enterprise using this approach becomes more feasible.

Abstract: Enterprises can be very confusing. They can be better understood if we look at them as groups of objects (i.e. people, tools, materials, etc.), which interact with each another. If we find that this approach is somewhat realistic, modelling an enterprise using this approach becomes more feasible. There are several important aspects of enterprises which, if understood, help us understand the enterprises themselves. The following discussion will address these important aspects. Figure 10.1 summarizes this discussion1.
