THEORY & DESIGN
Each business organisation has its architecture regardless whether the owners or managers are aware of it. This architecture appears at the moment when the organisation enters into market and declares is Business Model. The Architecture of Business Organisations or AoB contains all answers to why the organisation does something and does not do something else. The AoB comprises some theoretical and practical aspects presented in the publications referred on the page.

The Architecture of Business in an organisation contains tacit inter-dependencies between business functionality reflected in the organisational type – mechanistic or organic – and released related in the organisation’s structure and management model. An initiative of adding or removing functionality causes a need for the overbalancing the AoB integrity; at the same time, re-structuring the organisations, i.e. modifying an implementation of an AoB, does not necessary necessitate the AoB adjustment.
