Bibliography

This document gives guidelines for enterprise integration by using concepts and rules for modelling enterprise-wide decision-making structures, focusing on the production of management and control systems. This document does not deal with standard decision processes, or how each individual decision is taken, but defines an integrated decision-making structure within which decisions are consistently made system-wide.
