Enterprise Governance and Enterprise Engineering

The book "Enterprise Governance and Enterprise Engineering" by Jan A. P. Hoogervorst offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges modern companies face in implementing strategic initiatives, particularly in the field of information technology. It argues that many of the currently practiced approaches to strategy development and implementation are more obstructive than beneficial to business success. Hoogervorst presents two central themes: on one hand, a competency-based perspective on governance that emphasizes the role of employees as crucial for navigating the complex and dynamic business reality. On the other hand, the concept of enterprise architecture is introduced as a formal framework and methodology essential for integrated enterprise design. This book is aimed at professionals in management and consulting, as well as students of management sciences and business informatics.
