Prasad M. Jayaweera, Michaël Petit · Repository of the University of Namur · 2009
Business Motivation Modeling is fundamental and crucial when trying to achieve strategic alignment for sustainable enterprise solutions. Business Rules also play a central role among motivation modeling concepts and could range from fine-grained process directives to coarse-grained governance policies. Therefore, the effective utilization of Business Rules is heavily dependent on the development of classifications with separation of modeling concerns and (semi) formalisms to capture relevant business directives. Further, a Business Value Model typically consists of economic concepts (resources, events and agent) and of descriptions of particular value propositions to the customer and is equally important in enterprise solution designing. In this work, we report on a classification schema and a template structure to capture Business Value Rules that could affect resulting Business Value Models. The proposed classification and Business Value Rules helps to achieve strategic alignment of business value models that can be used as a basis to define economically sustainable enterprise solutions.
