Sinopsis

the virtually unlimited possibilities of modern information and communication technology. Future enterprises will therefore have to operate in an ever more dynamic and global environment. They need to be more agile, more adaptive, and more transparent. In addition, they will be held more publicly accountable for every e?ect they produce. These challenges are traditionally addressed by black-box thinking-based knowledge, i.e., knowledge concerning the function and the behavior of ent- prises, as contained in the organizational sciences. Such knowledge is su?cient, and perfectly adequate, for managing an enterprise (within the range of c- trol). However, it is de?nitely inadequate for changing an enterprise. In order to bring about changes, white-box-based knowledge is needed, i.e., knowledge concerning the construction and the operation of enterprises. Developing and applying such knowledge requires no less than a paradigm shift in our thi- ing about enterprises, since the organizational sciences are dominantly oriented toward organizational behavior, based on black-box thinking.

Reseña del editor

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First NAF Academy Working Conference on Practice-Driven Research on Enterprise Transformation, PRET 2009, held at CAiSE 2009, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on June 11, 2009. The goal of this new event is to stimulate interaction between industry and academia in the area of enterprise engineering, as this field requires close cooperation between the two communities. The 11 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. They provide practical insights and evaluations of theories in terms of experiences from real-life practice, as well as identifying practice-driven challenges for further research. The topics covered include enterprise architecture, business process management, outsourcing, and IT governance.
