The advent of the new enterprise paradigms of extended, virtual and agile enterprises causes new requirement on organisational concepts and supporting technologies. Inter- and intra- organisational relations need more and real-time information to support their establishment, deployment and discontinuation. Business-process-based decision support will make a significant contribution to these new forms of enterprise organisation and operation. It will enable the forming of such enterprises by providing detailed analysis and evaluation of partner-business processes and their contribution to the overall goals and objectives as well as re-planning and restructuring of the operation in the course of exception handling. The paper is concerned with the organisational aspects and the decision-support for extended and virtual enterprises, drawing from current practice and identifying shortcomings in the current EE&I (Enterprise Engineering and Integration) technologies. The work carried out under the joint Europe-USA initiative (ICEIMT'97) is analysed especially in the area of representing humans in enterprise operations. |
