Abstract
A Generic Object Oriented Enterprise Modelling Process (GOOEMP) is a set of partially ordered steps intended to reach the objective of building a fully integrated, dynamic, object oriented model of the enterprise. An Abstraction Mechanism is proposed to enable this process. The process is generic because it applies to most types of enterprises. Enterprise models are the products developed from the process and these can be used by various stakeholders in an organisation to: a), give them an understanding of the enterprise; b), design integrated information systems; c), respond to business changes by evolving their enterprise models and information systems in a co-ordinated and coherent. manner; and d), enable the enterprise models built within a particular industry to be reused and applied to many other industries.
