Description

The industrial society is fast becoming an information society. As a result, many companies are experiencing serious difficulties in developing the new structures required. The increasing use of information technology has a profound effect on markets, products, and processes, as well as the management of and cooperation between companies. Business Engineering offers models and techniques for transforming company structures to help face the challenges of the information society. Viewing the business process as a new model to describe the organization forms the link between company strategy and information systems. Business Engineering thus acts as a lever of change. The book points out advantages accessible through IT, together with ways of integrating this knowledge in effective and efficient processes.
