a comparative analysis of concepts for capability design used in capability driven development and the nato architecture framework
Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, 2017Co-Authors: Janis StirnaAbstract:Recently an approach for information system design and delivery according to run-time context has been developed. It uses the concept of capability to express the organization’s ability and capacity that enables it to achieve a Business Goal in a certain context, and hence is denoted Capability Driven Development (CDD). The concept of capability has also been used in other approaches because it facilitates Business investment focus, it can be used as a baseline for Business planning, and it directly leads to service specification and design. For example, several Enterprise Architecture frameworks have included capability as a key concept for analyzing organization’s abilities to deliver desired functions. A notable contribution in this area is The NATO Architecture Framework (NAF), which aims at being a de facto standard for organizations operating in the areas of NATO. This paper analyses the possibilities of mapping the CDD concepts to NAF concepts that are relevant for capability design.

Family Business Goal formation: a literature review and discussion of alternative algorithms
Management Review Quarterly, 2019Co-Authors: Ralph I. Williams, Torsten M. Pieper, Franz W. Kellermanns, Joseph H. AstrachanAbstract:Goals represent an organization’s desired outcomes, and family Businesses are known to pursue multiple Goals, which commonly include both financial and non-financial aspects. While family Business Goals have garnered much attention among researchers, relatively little is known about the approaches that family Businesses use to shape their idiosyncratic Goal sets. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we review the family Business literature and synthesize the current knowledge regarding Goal formation. Second, we incorporate insights from extant organizational Goal literature and discuss various approaches (algorithms)—specifically, maximizing, satisficing, and optimizing—that family Businesses may employ to select Goals. These insights form the foundation for our discussion and recommendations for future research aimed at furthering the understanding of family Business Goal formation.

private family Business Goals a concise review Goal relationships and Goal formation processes
2019Co-Authors: Ralph I. Williams, Torsten M. Pieper, Joseph H. AstrachanAbstract:Conventional wisdom holds that Goals drive behavior and measured Goals lead to results. The preeminent Goals in Business research revolve around financial performance. However, recently, more attention has been paid to non-financial Goals, such as applied in the balanced scorecard. Family Business research has also taken special note of Goals, as family influence in Business typically enhances the salience of non-financial Goals that must be accommodated with more materialistic, financial objectives. For this and other reasons, Goals are challenging to study in private family firms where Goals reflect desired outcomes for family and Business, and relative to publicly traded entities, owning-families have great freedom in Goal selection, resulting in higher levels of Goal idiosyncrasy and heterogeneity. To further the discussion of private family Business Goals, this chapter provides a concise review of the extant literature on family Business Goals, imparts relationships between financial and non-financial Goals, and expounds processes of family Business Goal formation.

family firm Goals and their effects on strategy family and organization behavior a review and research agenda
International Journal of Management Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: Ralph I. Williams, Torsten M. Pieper, Franz W. Kellermanns, Joseph H. AstrachanAbstract:Goals are a key differentiator between family Businesses and non‐family Businesses. To improve understanding of this topic, the authors take stock of what they know about Goals in family Business. They synthesize prior research findings and classify the research into five categories: family Business Goal antecedents; Goal characteristics; Goal‐related outcomes; moderators of Goal outcomes; and feedback loop. The paper concludes by highlighting future research to advance both family Business Goal and general management research.

a Business Goal service capability graph for the alignment of requirements and services
IEEE Congress on Services, 2008Co-Authors: M Galster, Eva BuchererAbstract:The increasing popularity of service-oriented architectures (SOA) raises a number of questions on how to operationalize this new software development paradigm. One important aspect is the one of service granularity, which refers to the scope of functionality covered by one single service. In this paper, we present a graph-based method that helps determine the appropriate granularity of software services in order to match them with software requirements. This procedure becomes important during design- and run-time evaluation of services when determining the suitability of services to support Business Goals and to implement requirements. The presented Business-Goal-Service-Capability graph (BGSC graph) follows a refinement of requirements and service capabilities until a common granularity level has been reached.
