“…'Enterprise architecture should be able to cope with the fast changing business environment with ever changing needs and relations with the customer an boundaries'. 269 Five per cent of the articles were not considered for this classification because they too explore the lack of common understanding in the discipline of EA and present many similar ways of approaching the discipline without weight placed on one over another. Table 11 presents an example corresponding to each category of focus.…”

Despite growing interest in enterprise architecture (EA) around the world in recent years, a lack of common understanding is frequently described by EA researchers/practitioners. We conducted a systematic mapping study and it revealed that the extent to which the authors/researchers are focused on EA, the sectors in which they are working, the academic disciplines in which they have studied, the countries where their affiliated organizations are located, the subject areas of the journals/publishers of their publications and the way they have approached EA and its practitioners are some major elements that might influence the existing uniformity in EA. In addition, this study demonstrates how important it is to pay attention to the definition of 'enterprise architecture' itself. The contribution of this study is the organization of the EA literature according to three major questions concerning 'who' have been published in the literature, 'where' they have been located and 'what' their publications are about. This helps to better identify sources of variety which could be on the basis of the lack of common understanding in EA and provides practitioners and stakeholders a better understanding of this challenge. This also provides relevant directions for future studies.

“…Practitioners should manage supply chain risks while forming alliance with local organizations in the developing countries along the routes. Naturally, as a lot of infrastructure development is required at di®erent stages of development, an innovative global \engineering, procurement and construction management" enterprise model should be an essential strategy for minimizing the risks in these projects (Chattopadhyay and Mo, 2010). Kang and Zaheer (2018) found that managerial incentives lead to managerial preference for relationally risky distant partners over existing and new close partners.…”

Many large and highly complex engineering projects present enormous technical and financial risks to organizations. This is especially true in the defence industry where budgets can potentially run into billions and the project lifecycle may extend over many years. In frequent cases, such projects are too much for a single organization to undertake. One option that is becoming ubiquitous across contemporary defence projects is to spread the risk by forming an alliance between several organizations. Unfortunately, forming an alliance between potentially competing organizations brings its own set of challenges and risks. The operating conditions of the business environment are characterized by frequent changes in products, services, processes, organizations, markets, supply and distribution networks. The partners need to work together as an entity to achieve a goal but the relationships within the alliance are often disrupted by the established practices, culture and motivation of the individual companies. This paper starts by examining how risks can essentially multiply when an alliance is formed and what potential impacts these risks have on project success. A novel 3PE method for modeling the structure of an alliance with the three elements being product, people, process, and their interactions is proposed within an alliance environment. This methodology is then used to calculate the increase in interactions between the 3Ps with the introduction of more organizations to the alliance. By examining each of the elements and their interactions, risks are identified, and the key drivers are exposed. Finally, a case study is presented that illustrates how the architectural model can be used to estimate the probability of failure of the alliance.

“…En este tipo de mercado, para las compras y el aprovisionamiento de las empresas, se muestra, como una verdadera ganancia para el comprador, la reducción del número de proveedores, dado que no tiene sentido agrupar un gran número de proveedores que sirvan al proceso de compra en ambientes de e-procurement (Sigala, 2006;Hazra & Madevan, 2003 papel crítico en el momento del diseño de las operaciones orientadas al servicio. Los costos tienen una implicación directa con los márgenes de rentabilidad deseados para cada empresa (Chattopadhyay & Mo, 2010). La visión financiera del proceso de compras y abastecimiento, enfocada en el manejo de los costos y su coordinación, ha permitido que autores como Malone, Yates y Benjamin (1987) argumenten que una reducción de la coordinación y el control de los costos determina un incremento del número de proveedores con los que es posible adelantar procesos de compra.…”

Franco, A.J. (2014). Medición del rendimiento en el proceso de compras y suministros. Ingenium, 8(22) ResumenEl proceso de compras y abastecimiento es uno de los eslabones iniciales de las cadenas de suministro, constituye un mecanismo importante dentro de la estructura productiva de las empresas, en el cual la oportunidad en el aprovisionamiento de bienes y servicios se considera trascendental. Este artículo ofrece una revisión enfocada en la medición del rendimiento del proceso de abastecimiento y compras, partiendo de lo susceptible en términos de rendimiento y totalmente ajustado a las necesidades de medición dentro de este proceso, a nivel general y en organizaciones como las PYME. Los resultados identifican atributos deseables de las compras y el aprovisionamiento como punto de partida para una amplia propuesta de indicadores asociados a estos atributos. Palabras ClaveMedición del rendimiento; proceso de compras; aprovisionamiento. AbstractThe procurement is one of the initial links of supply chains and an important mechanism for the production structure of firms, in which timing of the provision of goods and services is considered crucial. This article provides a literature review focused on measuring the performance of procurement process, the susceptible aspects to be measured and adjusted to the needs of measurement within this process, in general and in organizations such as SMEs.
