The history of business architecture has its origins in the 1980s. In the next decades business architecture has developed into a discipline of "cross-organizational design of the business as a whole"〔 closely related to enterprise architecture. The concept of business architecture has been proposed as a blueprint of the enterprise,〔〔 as business strategy,〔 and also as the representation of business design.〔 The concept of business architecture has evolved over the years. It was introduced in the 1980s as architectural domains and as activity of business design. In the 2000s the study and concept development of business architecture accelerated. By the end of the 2000s the first handbooks on business architecture were published, separate frameworks for business architecture were being developed, separate views and models for business architecture were further under construction, the business architect as a profession evolved, and more an more business added business architecture at their agenda. By 2015 business architecture has evolve into a common practice. The first business architecture body of knowledge is under development, and the interest from the academic world and from top management is growing. == Overview == Business architecture has its roots in traditional cross-organizational design. Bodine and Hilty (2009) stipulated, that the "responsibility for the cross-organizational design of the business as a whole, the work of the Business Architect, has historically fallen to the CEO or their assignee, supported by generalist management consulting firms whose teams of MBAs work with corporate managers to transform strategy into new business configurations using the newest tools."〔Paul Arthur Bodine and Jack Hilty. "Business Architecture: An Emerging Profession," at ''businessarchitectsassociation.org,'' Business Architects Association Institute. April 28, 2009. ((online ))〕 John Zachman (2012) commented in this context, that "a lot of material has been written about business architecture (by some definition), going back to ''The Principles of Scientific Management'' (1911) by Frederick Taylor."〔John A. Zachman "Foreword" in: Jonathan Whelan, Graham Meaden (2012) ''Business Architecture: A Practical Guide.'' p. xv〕 One of the roots of business architecture lies in the proposals for enterprise architecture made since the 1980s and 1990s. Bernus & Noran (2010) distinguished two types of proposals. On the one hand "Proposals that created generally applicable ‘blueprints’ (later to be called reference models, partial models...) so that the activities involved in the creation (or the change) of the enterprise could refer to such a common model (or set of models)."〔Bernus, Peter, and Ovidiu Noran. "(A metamodel for enterprise architecture )," ''Enterprise Architecture, Integration and Interoperability.'' Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. 56-65.〕 And on the other hand "proposals which claimed that to be able to organise the creation, and later the change, of enterprises one needs to understand the life cycle of the enterprise and of its parts... the ‘Enterprise Reference Architecture’."〔 More specific about the emerge of business architecture Whelan & Meaden (2012) described, that this emerged against a backdrop of change. The business architecture is "maturing into a discipline in its own right, rising from the pool of inter-related practices that include business strategy, enterprise architecture, business portfolio planning and change management – to name but a few.〔Jonathan Whelan, Graham Meaden (2012) ''Business Architecture: A Practical Guide.'' p. 2〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of business architecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
