Models

The simple model below is one I drew at SDSU to establish a basis of understanding between business management and information systems professionals.

This model identifies the most important elements which the enterprise manages and which work activities operate upon. Consequently these will be the main business features and activities that information systems need to support, and which info systems professionals will concern themselves with.

Basic Business Model

Note the main features:

• Organizations
• . . . performing Processes
• . . . which use Resources
• . . . to deliver Products and Services
• . . . to Customers and other Stakeholders
• . . .(who directly or indirectly arrange the supply of Resources
