Abstract
For decades already, the field of information systems development is facing challenges for which it is not equipped. Examples are business process management, service oriented design, and model-driven engineering. The only way out is to broaden the scope from information system to enterprise. Enterprise Engineering is an emerging discipline, originating from both the Information System Sciences and the Organizational Sciences. This means a major paradigm shift. On the paradigmatic basis that has been developed up to now, the notions of Enterprise Ontology, Enterprise Architecture, and Enterprise Governance are firmly founded. Next to broadening the scope towards enterprise engineering, there is an urgent need for scientific rigor. A first step in that direction is provided by the combination of three theories: the f -theory, the t -theory, and the y -theory. Together they are able to ban the bullshit from the discipline of information system engineering and to prevent it to creep into the discipline of enterprise engineering.
