Co-Evolution of Business Action Theories and Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest an incremental method for the co-evolution of theories of and modeling languages for business action. It consists of a cycle containing four steps: theory-based derivation of a generic modeling language, engineering of a language that is adapted to a specific modeling situation, the deployment of this language in a concrete analysis and/or design project, and the refinement of the theory with the help of action research. We apply this method to Business Action Theory and the language of the Situation-adaptable work and Information systems Modelling Method in the context of a business process-analysis project.
