Design of Enterprise Systems Theory Architecture and Methods

Design of Enterprise Systems Theory Architecture and Methods

In practice many different people with backgrounds in many different disciplines contribute to the design of an enterprise. Anyone who makes decisions to change the current enterprise to achieve some preferred structure is considered a designer. What is problematic is how to use the knowledge of separate aspects of the enterprise to achieve a globally optimized enterprise. The synthesis of knowledge from many disciplines to design an enterprise defines the field of enterprise engineering. Because enterprise systems are exceedingly complex encompassing many independent domains of study students must first be taught how to think about enterprise systems. Specifically written for advanced and intermediate courses and modules Design of Enterprise Systems: Theory Architecture and Methods takes a system-theoretical perspective of the enterprise. It describes a systematic approach called the enterprise design method to design the enterprise. The design method demonstrates the principles models methods and tools needed to design enterprise systems. The author uses the enterprise system design methodology to organize the chapters to mimic the completion of an actual project. Thus the book details the enterprise engineering process from initial conceptualization of an enterprise to its final design. Pedagogical tools available include: For instructors: PowerPoint® slides for each chapter Project case studies that can be assigned as long-term projects to accompany the text Quiz questions for each chapter Business Process Analyzer software available for download For students: Templates checklists forms and models to support enterprise engineering activities The book fills a need for greater design content in engineering curricula by describing how to design enterprise systems. Inclusion of design is also critical for business students since they must realize the import their decisions may have on the long-term design of the enterprises they work with. The book’s practical focus and project-based approach coupled with the pedagogical tools gives students the knowledge and skills they need to lead enterprise engineering projects. | Design of Enterprise Systems Theory Architecture and Methods

Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital

Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital

In the modern world most gross product is created within Enterprise firms project programs state agencies transnational corporations and their divisions as well as various associations and compositions of the above entities. Enterprises being on the one hand complex and on the other hand widespread systems are the subject matter of cybernetics system theory operations research management sciences and many other fields of knowledge. However the complexity of the system obstructs the development of mathematically rigorous foundations for Enterprise control. Moreover methods of operations research and related sciences which are widely used in practice provide optimization of the constituents of an Enterprise without modeling it as a whole system. But the optimization of parts does not lead to the optimality of the whole and also the absence of top-down and holistic mathematical models of Enterprise contradicts the principle of holism and the system approach. The approach in this book looks first at Enterprise Systems and their essential aspects as complex sociotechnical systems composed of integrated sets of structural and process models (Chapters 1 and 2). A uniform description of all the heterogeneous fields of the modern Enterprise (marketing sales manufacturing HR finance etc. ) is then made and the Enterprise Control Problem is posed as a top-down and holistic mathematical optimization problem (Chapter 3). Original models and methods of contract theory (Chapter 4) technology management (Chapter 5) human behavior and human capital (Chapter 6) and complex activity and resource planning (Chapter 7) are developed to solve the problem. Structural processes and mathematical models constitute an Optimal Enterprise Control Framework (Chapter 8) that provides a practical solution to the Enterprise Control Problem. This book is a resource for postgraduate and doctoral students postdoctoral researchers and professors with research interests in the following fields of science: Fundamental Complex Systems study Complex Systems Engineering Enterprise Systems Engineering Applications of Operations Research Optimization Probability and Stochastic processes to Management Science Economics and Business Theory of the Firm Business and Management – general strategy/leadership organization management operations management and management information systems Theory of Business Processes Business Processes Improvement and Reengineering | Optimal Enterprise Structures Processes and Mathematics of Knowledge Technology and Human Capital

Designing Secure Systems

Designing Secure Systems

Modern systems are an intertwined mesh of human process physical security and technology. Attackers are aware of this commonly leveraging a weakness in one form of security to gain control over an otherwise protected operation. To expose these weaknesses we need a single unified model that can be used to describe all aspects of the system on equal terms. Designing Secure Systems takes a theory-based approach to concepts underlying all forms of systems – from padlocks to phishing to enterprise software architecture. We discuss how weakness in one part of a system creates vulnerability in another all the while applying standards and frameworks used in the cybersecurity world. Our goal: to analyze the security of the entire system – including people processes and technology – using a single model. We begin by describing the core concepts of access authorization authentication and exploitation. We then break authorization down into five interrelated components and describe how these aspects apply to physical human process and cybersecurity. Lastly we discuss how to operate a secure system based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) concepts of identify protect detect respond and recover. Other topics covered in this book include the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) MITRE Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Microsoft’s Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.
