Abstract
Enterprise models are featuring business processes and corresponding stakeholders. In this paper, we are interested in those stakeholders who are humans. They are reflected in enterprise models with mainly considering regulations (what laws and business rules they should stick to) and public values (to what public values, such as safety privacy, and so on their behavior should conform). Nevertheless, we have seen no enterprise models that reflect the effect on human health, for example concerning the electromagnetic “pollution” each human is exposed to. We argue that avoiding electro-magnetic pollution as much as possible is a sensible goal as it concerns the behavior of any human stakeholder. Hence, this can be considered as another desired behavioral restriction, next to regulations and public values. In this paper, we discuss in detail the electro-magnetic pollution and its effect on human health, and we propose ways to reducing it. Finally, we give recommendations on how to reflect those issues in enterprise models, such that the safety of stakeholders is taken into account.
