Abstract :
Enterprises that exist today came into being mostly in an ad-hoc manner rather than being systematically designed. A piece-meal design of enterprise components led to a lack of coherence and consistency between numerous components of the enterprise. At present, both researchers and practitioners acknowledge the need for an overall view of the enterprise, as well as a new paradigm to understand and redesign the enterprise.
