Abstract
Business and enterprise modeling has gained its momentum. Today, there are various approaches that allow describing an enterprise from different points of view. However, it is not possible to cope with the growing variety of the heterogeneous models without a clear and well-defined approach. This paper proposes the system definition of the business/enterprise models based on the systems analysis and the general system theory. This definition is verified by four examples of the existing business/enterprise models given by different authors and widely used both in academia and industry.
