The institutionalization and the enterprise modeling in the manufacturing firms

The continuity of the companies depends on their capability of adaptation to the economical and business conditions. The level of the consistency between the companies and their environment is connected with the institutionalization level of the firms. The institutionalization of the enterprises is important to maintain their existence and to access the next generations. In our country, the improvement of the SMEs is known as the reaction of the environmental conditions and is executed by the pressure of the top management instead of the planned and systematical improvement. In this point, the progress from the leader oriented management to the system oriented management becomes the vital issue for the enterprises. In this thesis, Enterprise System Engineering and the enterprise modeling approach are used to constitute a reference model for the SMEs, which guide them during their institutionalization process.
