ABSTRACT
Government agencies and commercial entities are constantly evolving and transforming to respond to public demands, exploit opportunities, meet new market challenges, and adapt to a changing world. The networking of global supply chains for physical goods and information systems for financial services and operations management is based on new system technologies and business models that drive a high level of performance and operational excellence. An enterprise engaged in a dynamic mission involving multiple internal and external stakeholders operates as a complex adaptive system with policy, organizational, economic, and technology dimensions. The enterprise as a purposeful socio- techno- economic undertaking involves multiple organizations and agencies activated by the coordination of policies, organizations, economics, and technology to provide services or deliver products to the government or public. Engineering is defined as “the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people”.
