Core Competence-Oriented Integration Of An Enterprise System

In essence, an enterprise exists in the form of system. An enterprise system is one kind of complex social and economic systems. At the era of knowledgeable economy today, the tendency of economic globalization is being increasingly strengthened, the information technology and e-commence are developing more dramatically, the market competition is becoming more and more drastic, the indefinite ingredients of market demands are getting more, and the diversification of customer's needs is becoming more evident, the operation and management of an enterprise is facing harder challenge.The excellent appropriate conclusions of systems science, complexity science, information science, life science, intelligence science, knowledge science and engineering, controlling theories are widely absorbed, and also on the base of the integration of modern management theories, methods and technologies, aimed at the identification, development and utilization of the core competence of an enterprise, systems engineering's thoughts, theories and methods are employed, from the strategy-oriented angle, the notion of core competence-oriented integration of an enterprise system is put forward. The notion is the essence of this paper.In this paper, core competence-oriented integration of an enterprise system is defined as a new strategic style of enterprises' operation and management. Its fundamental objective is to upgrade enterprises' core competence to the utmost extent. And its ultimate objective is to make enterprises heighten their long-term performance in their entireties in the drastic market competition.In the first chapter, this paper analyzes an enterprise's core competence from knowledge and learning on the base of the conclusions from the explorations on core competence to this day.In the second chapter, this paper puts forward the notion of core competence-oriented integration of an enterprise system from the strategy-oriented angle, and analyzes the mechanisms that an enterprise system's integration upgrades its core competence from three facets. Then, it demonstrates the preliminary exploration on the fundamental theories of enterprise system's integration. The theories include general integration theory, the special concepts and the paradigm of enterprise system's integration theory.In the third chapter, this paper presents the overall frameworks of enterprise system's integration. The frameworks consist of logical framework named "one C two P three I" framework, circulation chain process framework and supporting framework ofinformation technology based on knowledge management. The frameworks are the main component of this paper.In the fourth chapter, this paper presents the preliminary explorations on the methods and supporting tools of enterprise system's integration on the base of the study of the process system engineering of enterprise system's integration.In the fifth chapter, this paper probes the performance assessment of enterprise system's integration from three facets which include assessing principle, assessing index system and assessing process. As well, the assuring measures of enterprise system's integration which consist of two parts are explained. One part is the dynamic mechanisms of enterprise system's integration; another is the risk management of enterprise system's integration.
