The topics in this book cover a broad range of research interests: from business engineering and its application in corporate and business networking contexts to design science research as well as applied topics, where those research methods have been employed for modeling, data warehousing, information systems management, enterprise architecture management, management of large and complex projects, and enterprise transformation. The book is a Festschrift for Robert Winter in order to appreciate his work and to honor him as a personality with a high reputation in the information systems community. To this end, many professional colleagues or long-time companions both from the Institute of Information Management at the University of St. Gallen as well as from the international research community dedicated articles on topics related to Robert’s research. They reflect his ambition to uncompromisingly conduct high-class research that fuels the research community and at the same time contributes to improved industrial practice. The book is organized in three major parts: Part I “Business Engineering and Beyond” focuses on the methodology strongly shaped by Robert in St. Gallen with a focus on research being applied in corporate contexts. Part II “Design Science Research” spans from reflections on the practice of design science research to perspectives on design science research methodologies and eventually up to considerations to teach design science research methodology. Part III “Applied Fields” combines various applications of design science and related research methodologies with practical problems and future research topics.

A Design Science Research Perspective

Engineering the Transformation of the Enterprise

Das Buch Auf dem Weg zur Integration Factory fasst den State of the Art sowie die Zukunftsperspektiven im Bereich der integrierten Informationslogistik zusammen. Die Autoren untersuchen zum einen, inwieweit sich bisherige Ansätze zum Data Warehousing sowie zur Enterprise Application Integration mittelfristig technisch, organisatorisch und wirtschaftlich als geeignete Lösungen erwiesen haben. Die Kernthemen sind hierbei Architekturen, Vorgehensmodelle, Business Intelligence, Online-Analyse, Customer Relationship Management, Supply Chain Management und Anwendungsintegration. Zum anderen werden neuere Ansätze vorgestellt, welche die Integration des Data Warehouse in die Gesamt-Informationslogistik zum Ziel haben und so die Realisierung neuer Applikationstypen und Geschäftsmodelle ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus wird insbesondere auf eine Verbesserung der Prozessunterstützung durch einen höheren Integrationsgrad der Applikationen eingegangen. Das Buch wendet sich vorwiegend an Praktiker aus den Bereichen Betriebswirtschaft und Wirtschaftsinformatik.
