Abstract
This chapter begins the description of the 4EM method by providing an introduction to the essential features and principles that will be examined in greater depth in Chaps. 8 and 9. “4EM” is an abbreviation of “For Enterprise Modeling.” The 4EM method is comprised of three core elements: a defined modeling procedure using a fixed notation, project organization and roles for performing an enterprise modeling project, and a participatory approach to involve enterprise stakeholders.
