Abstract

Modern enterprises face a challenging set of problems that are not so readily solved. This chapter addresses several aspects of this situation and suggests a way forward that depends on a complex, socio-technical point of view that often seems lacking among many systems engineering practitioners. Enterprise definitions are reprised, and examples are given that represent a wide range of complex systems engineering difficulty. Essential elements of complexity and enterprise engineering principles are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on how enterprise systems engineering (ESE) might deal with major issues facing humanity to improve quality of life. Accordingly, enterprise practitioners ought to consider devoting more of their resources toward these goals.
