Enterprises of the 21st century are crucial components in delivering services to society and contributing to economic prosperity. Service is delivered when an enterprise is conducting its business within its business environment. With the growing complexity of modern business processes and continuously cha- ing business environment, enterprise study (enterprise engineering)requires p- found engineering approaches with properties such as ability for reengineering, scalability, adaptability, and reimplementation. Enterprises are purposefully - signedandimplementedsystemstoful?llcertainfunctions. Asanysystem,ent- prises are objects of continuous improvements, redesign and reimplementation. Usually, a redesigning activity is triggered by changes in the business envir- ment, where the enterprise is functioning (delivering its service), or an internal need for e?ciency. The departure point for any design or redesign activity p- tinent to an enterprise is ?rst to understand the enterprise business processes. Therefore, in the overall enterprise engineering activities, business process m- eling plays a central role. However, an extended enterprise and organizational studyinvolvesbothanalysisanddesignactivities,inwhichmodelingandsimu- tion play prominent roles. The growing role of modeling and simulation attracts serious attention of researchers in the context of enterprises. Modeling and s- ulation are the tools and methods that are e?ective, e?cient, economic, and widely used in enterpriseengineering,organizationalstudy, and business process management. Complementary insights of modeling and simulation in enterprise engineering constitute a whole cycle of study of these complex sociotechnical system enterprises.
