title = "Can organisational theory and multi-agent systems influence next generation enterprise modelling?",
abstract = "This paper proposes that the current enterprise modelling approaches are overly reliant on the know how or tacit knowledge of enterprise architects for addressing organisational challenges such as business-IT alignment. Furthermore, current modelling languages only encourage linear thinking. By drawing upon existing research on (computational) organisation theory and multi-agent systems, we propose implementation requirements for a next generation enterprise modelling language that supports agent based simulation. The language is motivated by a detailed case study that illustrates the benefit of using simulation style languages.",
