Multi-Grounded Development of Enterprise Modeling Methods: The Case of SIMM
Abstract
Multi-Grounded Theory (MGT) extends Grounded Theory by further grounding processes, most notably theo-retical grounding. As an example for applying MGT we use the enterprise modeling method SIMM, which is empirically grounded, and show that this method can profit from grounding it also in an external theory. We outline a procedure called communicative and material functions analysis that can be used for this purpose and apply it to Business Action Theory. With the help of the extended method we analyze a business situation in order to follow up the commitments that are made in the course of a business process with the ultimate aim of detecting flaws in that process.
