Abstract
Referring to the editorial paper on the launch of this journal, this commentary focuses on the enabling role of models for Organizational Design & Enterprise Engineering (OD&EE). Three aspects are discussed: (1) why should OD&EE be enabled by models only? Can models provide a sufficient coverage of the multi-faceted challenges of OD&EE, or should also other artefact types be considered as core OD&EE enablers? (2) How can models be used in a way that OD&EE knowledge is created and reused in an effective and efficient way? (3) What models and methods are needed when OD&EE aims to be perceived as a scientific discipline rather than as practice? What types of generalized OD&EE knowledge should be differentiated, and what methodological challenges have to be addressed?
