Concepts

  1. Enterprise architecture. Enterprise architecture is a description of an organization’s business processes, IT software and hardware, people, operations and projects, and the relationships between them.
    • Enterprise. An organizational unit, organization, or collection of organizations that share a set of common goals and collaborate to provide specific products or services to customers.
    • Enterprise. The term enterprise typically refers to a company or business (i.e. an enterprise tech startup is a company that is building technology for businesses).
  2. Organization. A consciously coordinated social unit, composed of two or more legal entities, that functions on a relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or set of goals.
    • Organization. An autonomous unit within an enterprise under the management of a single individual or board, with a clearly defined boundary that works towards common goals and objectives. Organizations operate on a continuous basis, as opposed to an organizational unit or project team, which may be disbanded once its objectives are achieved.
    • Manufacturing organization. An organization that produces physical goods.
    • Service organization. An organization that produces nonphysical products in the form of services.
  3. Organizational structure. The formal arrangement of jobs within an organization.
    • Organizational structure. The way in which job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated.
    • Open innovation. Opening up the search for new ideas beyond the organization's boundaries and allowing innovations to easily transfer inward and outward.
    • Organization modeling. The analysis technique used to describe roles, responsibilities and reporting structures that exist within an organization.
  4. Organic model. A structure that is flat, uses cross-hierarchical and cross-functional teams, has low formalization, possesses a comprehensive information network, and relies on participative decision making.
  5. Mechanistic model. A structure characterized by extensive departmentalization, high formalization, a limited information network, and centralization.
  6. Organizational unit. Any recognized association of people in the context of an organization or enterprise.
  7. Organizational design. Creating or changing an organization's structure.
