Abstract

Organizations increasingly split off parts and start cooperating with those parts, for instance in Shared Service Centers or by using in- or outsourcing Our research aims to find the right spot and the way to split off those parts: “Application of which organization-construction rules to organizations with redundancy in processes and ICT leads to adequate splitting of enterprises”? Architecture and ontology play a role in the construction of any system From organizational sciences we expect specific construction rules for splitting an enterprise, including criteria for “adequately” splitting an enterprise We intend to find and test those construction rules by applying action research to real-life cases in which ontology and architecture are used.
