The Business Architect — The Concept of Enterprise Integration Revisited

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Research Reports Esprit ((3853))

Abstract

Enterprise integration today is a tool to optimize the division of labor and to co-ordinate the resulting inter-dependent tasks. In the paper, enterprise integration is revisited from the point of view of dynamic competition. In dynamic competition constantly new business objectives emerge, and constantly new enterprises are needed to achieve them. Thus it is argued, that enterprise integration starts from identifying the new business objectives. Then, partner and resources need to be integrated into a co-operation to achieve the business objectives. From this point of view, the new human role is to set the new business objectives and to design the new enterprise, as the business architect.
