Business Effectiveness Managing Risk Reducing Uncertainty Production Support Integration
Integration Legal Marketing • Human Resources IT Production Facilities and logistics Finance
Note: Each business component may itself be looked at as a production process. As such, it is internally subject – or can be subject at least – to the provisions of process efficiency maximization discussed in the previous lecture. Our objective is to reduce risk and be effective as a cohesive and integrated collection of these individual elements.
Integration Requires: Communication and Coordination
EXERCISE: What integration opportunities can you discover and how would they inter-relate?

Note: Each enterprise must itself be looked at as part of a series of progressively larger enterprises, the largest being the global economy. As such, it is externally subject to the provisions of integration maximization discussed in the previous lecture. Our objective is to integrate the enterprise, systemically, as an optimized component of the larger world enterprise.
EXERCISE: How would you integrate your enterprise into the global economy, in a way that it persists?
