The word "company" here corresponds to "enterprise" in English. It should be broad here and can be understood as "a system composed of specific people and resources to provide specific products or services." It includes not only commercial companies, individual enterprises, etc., but also various social groups, non-profits Institutions, government agencies, etc. This broad usage is confirmed by recent trends, such as "enterprise applications", "enterprise integration" (enterprise integration), "enterprise searchitecture", enterprise modeling (enterprisemodeling), "enterprise resources Management (enterpiserresourceplanning) and other usages refer to broad-based enterprises and cannot be replaced by words such as "organization".

On the basis of years of tracking, the Enterprise Engineering Forum explained this concept as follows: "Enterprise engineering is a comprehensive discipline on how to design, build, maintain and transform an enterprise."

The earlier definition of enterprise engineering in the pure academic field was proposed or established by the Society for Enterprise Engineering (SEE) in the United States around 1995: "Knowledge for enterprise analysis, design, improvement and operation, The whole of theory and practice. "

One of the pioneers in the field of enterprise engineering, James Martin stated in his monograph on enterprise engineering: "EE is a collection of disciplines used to build or transform enterprises and their processes and systems. It combines the most powerful methods of change and makes Its success. Its goal is to achieve the maximum effect of combining technology with people in all levels of learning. "

The concept of enterprise engineering is full-process in the sense of time and omni-directional in the sense of space, but its implementation cannot be achieved overnight, but is necessarily staged and local. The integration of enterprise systems is not arbitrary, nor can it be achieved at will. In order to achieve the design goals of integration, the necessary supporting structure must be established to achieve the plugging and functional coupling of heterogeneous components.

Here is a principle that distinguishes between "enterprise engineering" and "enterprise management": enterprise engineering is about an enterprise entity, and enterprise management is about the use of this enterprise entity. Perhaps the most inseparable of the two is Change Management.

The emergence of enterprise engineering will transform some of the traditional "decision management" manpower's highly artificial work into technical staff's sophisticated work, and also make the "management" system need to rethink: "planning-organization Is the traditional framework of "leader-control" meant to be "re-planned"?

Although a company as a system is usually "growth" rather than assembled, it is still an out-of-the-box artifact. Building it and managing it, even if intertwined, there are still differences between warp and weft, or two different aspects of the growth process. Due to the complexity, scale, and rapid change (and rapid construction) of modern enterprises, and the hugeness and complexity of their physical and logical entities, "planning and construction" cannot always be hidden behind "management". "Unconsciously" completed. Enterprise construction is the verbal state of enterprise growth, and it is necessary to re-plan the old enterprise structure or business from time to time; precise and rapid planning for new enterprises and businesses is the subject of enterprise engineering.

Yu Tongying, an early researcher on this subject in China, summarized some of the main development approaches of enterprise engineering, including: re-engineering / reinvention, computer integration enterprises (CIM / CIE), information engineering (IE), and industrial engineering (IE ), Organizational theory in the field of traditional management, business economics, change management, etc. From the development of recent years, enterprise architecture is one of the most active concepts in this field, showing the phenomenon of large EA and small EE. In recent years, in addition to the traditional CIMS field, more people in the domestic academic community have begun to pay attention to and study this new topic.
