The business and societal transformation project (B&STP) of a modern business and global environment needs a well-designed holistic global security management system (HGSMS) that, in turn, depends on measurable success factors; these factors are used for the evolution of the transformation process. During the last decade, due to the global insecurity and financial crisis, the security strategies were not efficient. That is mainly due to the fact that businesses depend on security standards, law, cyber and information technology evolution, enterprise architecture, business engineering, and multilevel interoperability. They are restricted to blindfolded infrastructure security operations and/or martial like legal cases. Major B&STPs are brutally wrecked by various security violations that may cause a no-go decision. Most of such security misfits are used for internal politics, while highly important issues and teams' problems are simply ignored.

Members of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation have committed themselves to measure and improve safety culture within their organizations by 2013 ( CANSO, 2010 ). This paper attempts to offer support to air navigation service providers that have already implemented a standardized safety culture survey approach, in the process of transforming their safety culture based on existing survey results. First, an overview of the state of the art with respect to safety culture is presented. Then the application of the CANSO safety culture model from theory into practice is demonstrated based on four selected case studies. Finally, a summary of practical examples for driving safety culture change is provided, and critical success factors supporting the safety culture transformation process are discussed.

Enterprise Ontology

ABSTRACT Modern business organizations experience increasing challenges in the development and evolution of their enterprise systems. Typical problems include legacy re-engineering, systems integration/interoperability, and the architecting of the enterprise. At the heart of all these problems is enterprise modeling. Many enterprise modeling approaches have been proposed in the literature with some based on ontology. Few however adopt a foundational ontology to underpin a range of enterprise models in a consistent and coherent manner. Fewer still take data-driven re-engineering as their natural starting point for modeling. This is the approach taken by Business Object Reference Ontology (BORO). It has two closely intertwined components: a foundational ontology and a re-engineering methodology. These were originally developed for the re-engineering of enterprise systems and subsequently evolved into approaches to enterprise architecture and systems integration. Together these components are used to systematically unearth reusable and generalized business patterns from existing data. Most of these patterns have been developed for the enterprise context and have been successfully applied in several commercial projects within the financial, defense, and oil and gas industries. BORO's foundational ontology is grounded in philosophy and its metaontological choices (including perdurantism, extensionalism, and possible worlds) follow well-established theories. BORO's re-engineering methodology is rooted in the philosophical notion of grounding; it emerged from the practice of deploying its foundational ontology and has been refined over the last 25 years. This paper presents BORO and its application to enterprise modeling.

This chapter proposes a cross-business domain holistic mathematical model (HMM) that is the result of a lifetime of research on business transformations, applied mathematics, software modelling, business engineering, financial analysis, and global enterprise architecture. This research is based on an authentic and proprietary mixed research method that is supported by an underlining mainly qualitative holistic reasoning model module. The proposed HMM formalism attempts to mimic some functions of the human brain, which uses empirical processes that are mainly based on the beam-search, like heuristic decision-making process. The HMM can be used to implement a decision-making system or an expert system that can integrate the enterprise's business, information, and communication technology environments.

This chapter reveals the role of business process reengineering (BPR) in the modern business world, thus illustrating the theoretical and practical concept of BPR, the applications of BPR, the drivers of BRR (in terms of internal drivers and external drivers), the critical success factors of BPR (i.e., egalitarian leadership, collaborative working environment, top management commitment, supportive management, information technology, change management, project management, and cross-functional coordination), the implementation of BPR, and BPR software tools. BPR is a systematic approach to helping an organization analyze and improve its processes in digital age. BPR is a continuum of change initiatives in order to deliver better business performance standards through establishing sustainable process capability in modern organizations. BPR has become a popular tool to dealing with rapid technological and business change in the global competitive environment. Applying BPR will greatly improve business performance and reach business goals in global business.

Change is the word that best characterizes the nature of modern Business scenario and determines the challenges that manager’s face.Staying competitive requires looking for new ways of reducing costs and increase the quality of the company’s products. Lean thinking is considered to be one potential approach for improving organizational performance.When the flexibility seems to be an important issue in today’s highly competitive environment Lean integrated as a complete system in the organization can ensure company’s adaptation. Developed as a production system eliminating wastes in the Toyota’s plants in the 1960’s, Lean is evolving into a management approach that improves all the processes at each level of an organization. This study aims to develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that suggest a detailed perspective of the Lean manufacturing to the managers whoconsider implementing it as a possible direction towards achieving sustainable performance for their organizations. The factors which affect the implementation of lean in manufacturing sector are identified by undertaking extensive literature review and consulting the experts from academia and industry. The factors identified are modeled to find the respective loading on Lean variable using Structural Equation Modeling.

Enterprise system (ES) implementation has been a major investment by many organizations in the last two decades and realization of benefits from this investment is a critical issue. The benefit realization process involves transformation of ES data into practice knowledge by deployment of operational and managerial processes within the technology infrastructure. This study investigates the factors that influence the process for transforming ES data into successful outcomes from an Information Technology (IT) professionals’ perspective in three New Zealand hi-tech manufacturing companies. Findings highlight that ES data transformation is a holistic process that not only includes the essential data and technology factors, but also includes organizational strategy deployment, business process management, and development of skills and proficiency levels of IT professionals. This study contributes to practice discipline as insights are shared from IT professionals who routinely use the organization’s ES for benefit realization.
