| Abstract | Change is a constant for most contemporary organisations, whether it is initiated top-down, or it emerges bottom-up. One could even say that organisations are continuously in motion. Dealing with change in organisations can be approached from many different vantage points. In this presentation, we investigate two of these vantage points, while also trying to bridge between them. More specifically, we will look at Organisational Design, originating from social sciences, and Enterprise Engineering, originating from engineering sciences. Organisational Design considers organisations as the result of social interactions between (human) actors. By way of this interaction, the actors define and shape the organisation. This could, indeed, happen in a directive / top-down style, as well as in a more open / bottom-up style. Even more, 'top-down' decisions made by a few, might not actually be institutionalised by the many that may be effected by these decisions. Enterprise Engineering, also referred to as Organisational Engineering or Business Engineering, includes domains such as Business Process Management and Enterprise Architecture. It extrapolates from Software Engineering via Information Systems Engineering, to the engineering of organisations and their enterprises. The core tenet of Enterprise Engineering is to treat enterprises as purposefully designed artefacts. This may seem natural from an engineering point of view. But do organisations, being made up primarily from humans, behave rationally? Can organisations be engineered at all? Does the extrapolation hold? Organisational Design and Enterprise Engineering look at change in organisations from two different perspectives. Each perspective has a potential added value when dealing with change in organisations. They could be regarded as two sides of the same coin; the coin of organisational change. Or are they so different that we should really see them as different sides of different coins? In this presentation we will explore the tension between Organisational Design and Enterprise Engineering further, as well as the need / benefits of combining the two. In doing so, we will also consider the role of enterprise models as potential boundary objects between the social processes from an Organisational Design perspective, and the rationality-driven Enterprise Engineering processes. We suggest enterprise models as a possible way keep to ensure that the two sides of the coin are indeed two sides of the same coin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
