Introduction

This chapter frames the developments described in this book and gives an overview of its structure. The background is provided with respect to the difficulties of introducing innovation on technical and organization level in well-established fields such as production industry. The nature of disruptiveness is explained in light of the applied subject-oriented modelling and execution approach. Thereby, disruptiveness motivates the process that guided the developments, both on the conceptual layer, and in practice, aiming to establish stakeholders as informed work place and process designers.
