“…[3], [7], [25], [30]. Business process modeling usually employs and/or combines three basic views: (i) the functional view expressed based on Data Flow Diagrams [8], (ii) the behavioral view focused on when and under which conditions activities are performed and based on state diagrams or interaction diagrams [28], and (iii) the structural view focused on the static aspect of the business process capturing the objects that are manipulated by the business process and their relationships [61].…”

The assumption of the work presented in this paper is the situatedness of the change process. The Enterprise Knowledge Development -Change Management Method (EKD-CMM) provides multiple and dynamically constructed ways of working to organize and to guide the change management. The method is built on the notion of labeled graph of intentions and strategies called a road map and the associated guidelines. The EKD-CMM road map is a navigational structure that supports the dynamic selection of the intention to be achieved next andthe appropriate strategy to achieve it whereas guidelines help in the operationalization of the selected intention following the selected strategy. This paper presents the EKD-CMM road map and guidelines and exemplifies their use with a real case study.

“…In the second category, the focus is given to developing different views of the organisation dealing respectively on actors, roles, resources, business processes, objectives, rules, etc. [2], [6], [13], [14]. The development processes suggested by these approaches are descriptive, remain at a very high level of abstraction and do not provide effective guidance.…”

During enterprise knowledge development in any organisation, developers and stakeholders are faced with situations that require them to make decisions in order to reach their intentions. To help the decision making process, guidance is required. Enterprise Knowledge Development (EKD) is a method offering a guided knowledge development process. The guidance provided by the EKD method is based on a decision making pattern promoting a situation and intention oriented view of enterprise knowledge development processes. The pattern is iteratively repeated through the EKD process using different types of guiding knowledge.Consequently, the EKD process is systematically guided. The presentation of the decision making pattern is the purpose of this paper.

Business objects have become an important topic of the discourse on enterprise distributed object computing. But what is a business object, apart from a flabbergasting, seemingly oxymoronic juxtaposition of vocables from two spheres poles part, viz. that of management fads and that of software development? From a comprehensive study of the literature on the subject, we distinguish seven reasonably distinct strands of usage of the concept and also cast a glance at a number of closely related terms. Contemplating our terminological findings, we then try to reach out for the true essence of business objects, but fail insofar as we arrive at two separate, although interrelated essences. Of these two, which we thereinafter refer to as business objects in the core sense and business objects in the extended sense, we, for a number of reasons, find the latter more interesting. Scavenging further for their quiddity, we contrast business objects in the extended sense with various concepts that prima facie seem related, such as components, ensembles, agents, actors, and objects. Finally, we take advantage of a scheme suggested by Brad Cox to synthesise our results into a layered model of software and to adumbrate why we believe that business objects in the extended sense will form the underpinnings of a new era of realistic computing.
