"Business architecture" is a concept for optimizing corporate boundaries aimed at realizing targeted business models and corporate system design involving stakeholders. To optimize the corporate boundaries, companies must partially and/or wholly optimize the individual management elements s (strategy, organization, technology, operation, and leadership) comprising the corporate system that has achieved congruence with its environment. The type of management concerned with optimizing these corporate boundaries and the corporate systems that consist of individual management elements is referred to in this book as "boundary management." The concept of "boundaries congruence" inside and outside the corporate system, and the formation of an optimal architecture concerned with environmental change and with management elements such as strategy, organization, technology, operation, and leadership are key to implementing dynamic strategic management. This book presents the concept of "business architecture" and optimizing processes as a corporate system based on multiple corporate case studies (Sony, NTT-DATA, NTT-DoCoMo, Toyota, Honda, Omron, Takara, Recruit, First Retailing, Panasonic, and Canon).
Synopsis
The key elements of the cornerstone a people (Boundary Architects), organizational boundary, knowledge boundary, boundary networks, strategic business communities, teamwork, project, leadership, - together synergies a company-wide incremental and radical approach to creativity/innovation. The term Boundary Architects, who can develop new business architectures (e.g, new products and services and new business model), can best describe company-wide innovation enablers. This Boundary Architects strategically can acquire knowledge of the external environment, market structure and changes in customer needs, and will discover new information and know how while accumulating and sharing these intellectual assets as core competences within the organizational boundaries networks. The most recent in-depth case studies at P&G and Polycom Inc. in US, NTT DoCoMo, NTT, Matsushita Electric, Cannon and Toyota in Japan, Radvision in Israel, Tandberg in Norway, Leadtek in Taiwan are featured.
