There has been a phenomenal growth in autonomous business services, fuelled largely by the internet and e-business. New business architectures are emerging, in which an enterprise is configured as a dynamic network of components providing business services to one another. This is component-based business - "plug-and-play" applied not to hardware and software, but to business relationships. Component-Based Business constitutes a radical challenge to traditional notions of strategy, planning, requirements, quality and change, and tries to help you improve how you think through the practical difficulties and opportunities of the component-based business. As this is a rapidly developing field, more up-to-date and detailed examples can be found on the website associated with this book: http://www.component-based-business.com, which also contains open forums in which your questions can be discussed. "In this work so far, Richard challenges conventional thinking with a sometimes breathtaking series of lateral thoughts that are essential reading for the component architect, designer and their customer. Strongly recommended."
David Sprott, Principal Analyst, CBDi Forum
