Abstract
Following the BOAT framework discussed in Chapter 1, this chapter describes the organization aspect of the CrossWork approach. It shows how the business requirements identified in the previous chapter can be fulfilled by dynamic organization structures and business processes in Networks of Automotive Excellence (NoAE). It explains why business processes require explicit attention, i.e. why business process engineering is the pivotal point around which modern business management rotates. Next, based on the observations in Chapter 3, the chapter zooms in on processes for the formation of instant virtual enterprises and for their enactment (execution).
