Putting capability management into practice requires both a solid theoretical foundation and realistic approaches. This book introduces a development methodology that integrates business and information system development and run-time adjustment based on the concept of capability by presenting the main findings of the CaaS project - the Capability-Driven Development (CDD) methodology, the architecture and components of the CDD environment, examples of real-world applications of CDD, and aspects of CDD usage for creating business value and new opportunities. Capability thinking characterizes an organizational mindset, putting capabilities at the center of the business model and information systems development. It is expected to help organizations and in particular digital enterprises to increase flexibility and agility in adapting to changes in their economic and regulatory environments. Capability management denotes the principles of how capability thinking should be implemented in an organization and the organizational means. This book is intended for anyone who wants to explore the opportunities for developing and managing context-dependent business capabilities and the supporting business services. It does not require a detailed understanding of specific development methods and tools, although some background knowledge and experience in information system development is advisable. The individual chapters have been written by leading researchers in the field of information systems development, enterprise modeling and capability management, as well as practitioners and industrial experts from these fields.

Enterprise modeling (EM) methods and techniques are indispensable for understanding the present situation of an enterprise and for preparing for its future – particularly in times of continuous organizational change, an increasing pace of innovation, new market challenges or technology advances. The authors combine a detailed description of the 4EM methodology with their concrete experience gathered in projects. Their book addresses the modeling procedure, modeling language and modeling practices in a uniquely integrated approach. It provides practical advice on common challenges faced by enterprises and offers a flexible EM method suitable for tackling those challenges. Much of the work presented stems from actual research projects and has been validated with scientific methods. The 4EM methodology has proven its practical value in a large number of successful development and/or change management projects in industry and the public sector. The book was written for anyone who wants to learn more about EM, with a specific focus on how to do it in practice and/or how to teach it. Its main target audience thus includes instructors in the field of EM or business information systems, students in Information Systems or Business Administration, and practitioners working in enterprise or change management. The authors describe a clear reading path for each of these audiences and complement the work with a set of slides and further teaching material available under www.4em-method.com.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling, held in Rostock, Germany, during November 7-8, 2012. The focus of the PoEM conference series is on improving the understanding of the practice of enterprise modeling by offering a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. The 15 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions, and reflect different facets of enterprise modeling, including organizational and social issues as well as methodological and technical aspects. The papers are organized in five thematic sessions on enterprise modeling, business modeling, process modeling, enterprise architecture, and model-driven development.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research, BIR 2022, which took place in Rostock, Germany, in September 2022. The central theme of BIR 2022 was "Business Informatics for Sustainable Innovation". Achieving sustainability requires a multi-perspective approach taking organizational, economic, and technical aspects into account. In a world of cloud computing, social networks and big data, additional challenges for business informatics and the design of information systems architectures are introduced. To deal with these challenges, a close cooperation of researchers from different disciplines such as information systems, business informatics, and computer science is required. The 14 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Information system development; modeling methods and assistance; applications and technologies; and digital business.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research, BIR 2019, held in Katowice, Poland, in September 2019. This year's theme was: Responsibilities of Digitalization - Responsible designing and shaping of future technology for digital preservation, global data storage and cost-effective management. The 17 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. This year the contributions focus on topics such as: responsibilities of digitalization; responsible designing and shaping the future of technology for digital preservation, global data storage and cost-effective management.

Unternehmensmodellierung dient dazu, die wichtigsten Komponenten von Organisationen sowie deren Relationen zueinander abzubilden. Sie wird bei einer Vielzahl strategischer und operativer Aufgaben eingesetzt. In dem Buch erlautern die Autoren anhand der Methode "Kochbuch" die Grundlagen und Einsatzwecke der Unternehmensmodellierung, insbesondere stellen sie die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auf ein Unternehmen und die Analysetechniken dar. Die Konzepte und Methoden koennen durch genaue Vorgehensbeschreibungen unmittelbar angewendet werden.

Telepublishing ist nach der sturmischen Einfuhrung von Electronic Publishing mit DTP/DTR die neue grosse Herausforderung fur Unternehmen im Publikationssektor.
