Get an overview of the Global Bike Group’s corporate model.
Scenario: You are a new employee of Global Bike Inc. which manufactures and sells bicycles and
accessories. After your successful interview, where you shone with excellent knowledge about the
company and corresponding skills, you now have your first day at the company. First, you should
get to know the company before you can start your tasks. For this purpose, you will be provided
with the company's information models and the EOG (Enterprise Online Guide). Now you have the
opportunity to get to know and understand the structures, processes and procedures of the company.
A (fictitious) staff member helps you to explore. First, he gives you a short
theoretical introduction:
The Global Bike Group has created a comprehensive enterprise model to
map its structural and process organisation. This enterprise model consists
of individual information models, which are assigned to the following
enterprise matrix.
Info: For better orientation, the models are assigned to six different MAPs
(views) in the context of open standards such as SAP Best Practice or the
Object Management Group, as well as four abstraction levels.
In order to better understand the matrix, the staff member briefly explains its
meaning:
Which company Data represents my processes and which structure do
they have (horizontally und vertically)?
(1) Which different user groups do I want to reach with an Information model
(specialist department or IT)?
(2) How can I integrate knowledge transfer between different user groups
(which maps or levels)?
(3) What level of detail is appropriate for knowledge transfer? (corporate
management, divisional management, workplace, compliance)
(4) Before using an information model: what do I want to see (views / levels)
and how can I navigate to it?
