About the Books

On Economics and Enterprise Architecture

How economics and architectures interact
    • PDF

    • EPUB

    • WEB

    • English

    This anthology from the Tetradian weblog explores how economics and enterprise architectures interrelate with each other, in business, in society, and with the wider world.

    This book includes about 40 posts and 40 images from the weblog. These posts are split into six groups:

    - Economics and Architecture: On Architectures - shows how architecture outlines key flaws in economics, and what it can do to help address them.

    - Economics and Architecture: Business - illustrates how economics-level issues can impact everyday business.

    - Economics and Architecture: Money - assesses how perspectives on money, price and value can both introduce useful ideas or constrain new possibilities.

    - Economics and Architecture: Society - uses architectures-methods to explore effects of current economics at whole-of-society levels.

    - Economics and Architecture: Futures - reviews economics implications highlighted by futures-analysis.

    - Economics and Architecture: Beyond Money - explores an architecture-based thought-experiment on a form of economics that does not need money to function.

    On futures and Enterprise Architecture

    How to use futures methods in architectures
      • PDF

      • EPUB

      • WEB

      • English

      This anthology from the Tetradian weblog focusses on futures, and particularly the techniques and methods needed to guide change for an individual organisation, for a broader shared enterprise, or at a more global big-picture scale, and also across any timescale that may be required.

      This book includes about 40 posts and 70 images from the weblog. These posts are split into four groups:

      - Futures: Methods - outlines some of the methods and concerns in futures-work for architectures.

      - Futures: Architectures - explore a range of issues where futures concerns intersect with architectures in a business context.

      - Futures: Politics - uses futures-methods to identify a swathe of fundamental flaws in many current concepts of politics and society, and suggest what can be done to resolve those flaws.

      - Futures: Assessments - applies futures-methods to assess potential challenges and options in broader social change, and also in architecture itself.

      On power and enterprise architecture
