Design of enterprise systems : theory, architecture, and methods

"Because enterprise systems are exceedingly complex, encompassing many independent domains of study, students must first be taught how to think about enterprise systems. Design of Enterprise Systems: Theory, Architecture, and Methods takes a system-theoretical perspective of the enterprise, and describes a systematic approach, called an enterprise design method, to design the enterprise. The design method demonstrates the principles, models, methods, and tools needed to design enterprise systems." "The author uses the enterprise system design methodology to organize the chapters to mimic the completion of an actual project. Thus, the book details the enterprise engineering process from initial conceptualization of an enterprise to its final design."--BOOK JACKET
