Can Self-Tracking Solutions Help with Understanding Quality of Smart, Connected Products?
Smart connected products (SCPs) have gained significant attention in different domains because they offer numerous benefits and change the form of competition and value creation. While quality is im-portant for SCPs, no holistic quality model is available to target the present quality problems. Further-more, since the concept of an SCP is quite abstract, a bottom-up approach that starts with a concrete example seems suitable. Therefore, this paper identifies the five key components of SCPs and maps them to self-tracking solutions (STS) in order to show that STSs are appropriate examples. We also analyse quality models in corresponding areas to verify the absence of a holistic quality model for the selected example. This contribution identifies the research gap regarding holistic, stakeholder-oriented quality models and helps researchers understand SCPs better
Enterprise modelling framework for dynamic and complex business environment: socio-technical systems perspective
The modern business environment is characterised by dynamism and ambiguity. The causes
include global economic change, rapid change requirements, shortened development life
cycles and the increasing complexity of information technology and information systems
(IT/IS). However, enterprises have been seen as socio-technical systems.
The dynamic complex business environment cannot be understood without intensive
modelling and simulation. Nevertheless, there is no single description of reality, which has
been seen as relative to its context and point of view. Human perception is considered an
important determinant for the subjectivist view of reality. Many scholars working in the
socio-technical systems and enterprise modelling domains have conceived the holistic sociotechnical
systems analysis and design possible using a limited number of procedural and
modelling approaches. For instance, the ETHICS and Human-centred design approaches of
socio-technical analysis and design, goal-oriented and process-oriented modelling of
enterprise modelling perspectives, and the Zachman and DoDAF enterprise architecture
frameworks all have limitations that can be improved upon, which have been significantly
explained in this thesis. [Continues.
