Business mathematics and systems Books

Book SynopsisLankhorst and his co‑authors present ArchiMate® 3.0, enterprise modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about these architectures. Since an architecture model is useful not only for providing insight into the current or future situation but can also be used to evaluate the transition from ‘as‑is’ to ‘to‑be’, the authors also describe analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance and cost issues.The modelling language presented has been proven in practice in many real‑life case studies and has been adopted by The Open Group as an international standard. So this book is an ideal companion for enterprise IT or business architects in industry as well as for computer or management science students studying the field of enterprise architecture.This fourth edition of the book has been completely reworked to be compatible with ArchiMate® 3.0, and it includes a new chapter relating this new version to other standards. New sections on capability analysis, risk analysis, and business architecture in general have also been introduced.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Enterprise Architecture.-State of the Art.- Foundations.- Communication of Enterprise Architectures.- A Language for Enterprise Modelling.- Combining ArchiMate with Other Standards and Approaches.- Guidelines for Modelling.- Viewpoints and Visualisation.- Architecture Analysis.- Architecture Alignment.- Tool Support.- Case Studies.- Beyond Enterprise Architecture.- Appendix.- References.- Index.

Book SynopsisThis book provides specialists and executives with a clear, yet practical set of recommendations to meet the challenges of digital transformation and ensure long-term success as a leader in a primarily digital business world. The authors describe the fundamental principles of digitization and its economic opportunities and risks, integrating them into a framework of classic and new management methods. The book also explores how increasing digitization – not only of communication, but of complete value chains – has led to a need to establish a digital business leadership. Digitization is changing people and markets: it causes the upheaval of entire industries, creates new digital-centric companies, and forces established companies to cope with the transformation activities associated with these digitization processes. New approaches and methods have to be learned, tried and tested patterns of thinking have to be explored, and last but not least, innovation activities have to be understood as continuous necessities. At the same time, digital business offers considerable opportunities for renewing competitive advantages, improving existing process structures and realigning products, services and business models. Trade Review“The book has a very cogent and convincing flow. Its design and layout are excellent-- particularly the graphics and the very professional looking figures. … This book explains the need for a new management framework for digital business leadership. It will mostly appeal to practitioners rather than academia, because it gives ‘concrete recommendations for action to meet an increasingly digitally shaped business world.’” (C.S.

Book SynopsisThe intent of this book -- the author's goal for you â is to understand the baseless underpinnings of almost all our fears. You read that correctly -- almost all our fears -- and therefore to discard them. The author has expertly coached leaders and managers in the discovery of, examination of, elimination of, and sustained freedom from fears.We all know people who are charming and articulate, but flounder on a stage addressing colleagues; musicians who master intricate scores but canât play the basics when asked to solo; athletes who choke; business people who are strong until it comes time to ask for the business; people who consistently feel like imposters.We are far better at dealing with external, tangible fears than our own imagined ones. We purchase insurance, watch the safety demonstrations, know how to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But those are responses to rare and often never-occurring emergencies. Our mythical and monstrous fears are daily dark clouds, maskinTable of ContentsOther Books by Alan Weiss. Introduction. Acknowledgments. Dedication. Chapter 1: Real fear and fraudulent fear.
