Case Study in Using Fractal Enterprise Model

Kokkuvõte
This is a "placeholder" master project topic, which needs to be negotiated individually. Depending on the case organization, it can be used for various programs, including Software Engineering, IT Conversion Master, Innovation, and Technology Management.
The master’s thesis would include understanding and modeling a (business) organization or a part of it (e.g., a department or service) with a modeling technique called the Fractal Enterprise Model. Fractal Enterprise Model (FEM) is a relatively new advanced modeling technique that competes with other techniques used in Enterprise Architecture/Modeling world. It shows the connection between different components (processes and assets) in an organization and can be used for business analysis and design on various levels, including the strategic one, like Business Model Innovation (BMI).
The topics of your project can range from figuring out the ways FEM can be used in a case organization to using it for a specific task, e.g. finding a cause for a problem, suggesting alternative solutions for a known problem, developing a new Business Model for the organization, or creating a capability map of the organization. The choice of task depends on the needs of the organization and on the student’s priorities. Ideally, your project should be connected to some problem/challenge/task that is already understood by the managers in a case organization, as besides your own time, you might need to ask to engage other people in the organization, e.g., for conducting interviews. A completed project may result in the publication of the paper. Students who have full-time or part-time jobs and who can find a topic connected to their workplace will particularly benefit from taking this topic.
Note: FEM is taught in the spring course called Enterprise Modeling. However, going through this course is not mandatory for taking this topic.
