Title: Enterprise Modeling according to Enterprise Architects
Abstract: 
In the context of business modeling, the speech is to explain enterprise modeling. The enterprise modeling is developed to support different stakeholders in their decision-making processes. Managers, auditors, enterprise architects, and business developers have particular expectations concerning the enterprise and need enterprise modeling and models. Beyond that, business partners, i.e., customers, competitors, suppliers, and cooperators are interested in enterprise modeling and models. In the speech, I would like to emphasize that enterprise modeling is necessary for enterprise management. In my opinion, enterprise modeling is needed for strategic as well as for operational management. I will use the enterprise architecture approach, present enterprise architecture frameworks, languages, modeling tools and exemplar models. I will discuss strengths and weaknesses of enterprise modeling. Finally , I would like to explain models’ complementarism.
