Business modelling is a vast arena of research and practice, which
is gaining increasing important in the rapid development of
e-commerce, globalization, and in particular, the movement toward
global e-business. The ability to utilize advanced computing
technology to model, analyse and simulate various aspects of
ever-changing businesses has made a significant impact on the way
businesses are designed and run these days. With the current global
e-business and e-commerce initiatives, it has become important that
all businesses carefully validate their business objectives,
requirements, and strategies through a careful process of formal
business modelling. It is important for effective enterprise
decision making to have clear, concise business models that allow
the extraction of critical value from business processes and
specify the rules to be globally enforced. Particularly in
e-business specifications, the need to be unambiguous, accurate,
and complete becomes even greater, because there may be no human
mediator or agent to rely on in complex or unforeseen situations.
Business Modelling: Multidisciplinary Approaches - Economics,
Operational, and Information Systems Perspectives, arranged in
three parts, brings scholarly perspectives from various disciplines
to bear on some of the critical aspects of business modeling. The
first part (chapters 1-8) focuses on business modelling
fundamentals and starts with a series of economics and operations
research perspectives. The second part (chapters 9-19) concentrates
on modelling in electronic businesses and focuses on Management
Information Systems and Decision Support Systems. The third part
(chapters 20-22) centers on multidisciplinary business modelling
progress, in particular on the seminal work of Professor Andrew B.
Whinston.
As the most comprehensive reference work dealing with knowledge management (KM), this work is essential for the library of every KM practitioner, researcher, and educator. Written by an international array of KM luminaries, its approx. 60 chapters approach knowledge management from a wide variety of perspectives ranging from classic foundations to cutting-edge thought, informative to provocative, theoretical to practical, historical to futuristic, human to technological, and operational to strategic. The chapters are conveniently organized into 8 major sections. The second volume consists of the sections: technologies for knowledge management, outcomes of KM, knowledge management in action, and the KM horizon. Novices and experts alike will refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again for years to come.
This volume is based on lectures presented at the N.A.T.O. Advanced
Studies Institute on Data Base Management Theory and Applications.
The meeting took place in Estoril Portugal for a two week periQd in
June 1981. The lecturers represented distinguished research centers
in industry, gvvernment and academia. Lectures presented basic
material in data base management, as well as sharing recent
developments in the field. The participants were drawn from data
processing groups in government, industry and academia, located in
N.A.T.O. countries. All participants had a common goal of learning
about the exciting new developments in the field of data base
management with the potential for application to their fields of
interest. In addition to formal lectures and the informal
discussions among participants, which are characteristic of
N.A.T.O. AS! gatherings, participants had the opportunity for
hands-on experience in building application systems with a data
base management system. Participants were organized into groups
that designed and implemented application systems using data base
technology on micro computers. The collection of papers is
organized into four major sections. The first section deals with
various aspects of data modeling from the conceptual and logical
perspectives. These issues are crucial in the initial design of
application systems.

As the most comprehensive reference work dealing with knowledge
management (KM), this work is essential for the library of every KM
practitioner, researcher, and educator. Written by an international
array of KM luminaries, its approx. 60 chapters approach knowledge
management from a wide variety of perspectives ranging from classic
foundations to cutting-edge thought, informative to provocative,
theoretical to practical, historical to futuristic, human to
technological, and operational to strategic. The chapters are
conveniently organized into 8 major sections. The first volume
consists of the sections: foundations of KM, knowledge - a key
organizational resource, knowledge processors and processing,
influences on knowledge processing. Novices and experts alike will
refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again
for years to come.
