System and method for structured collaboration using reusable business components and control structures in an asset based component business model architecture

Abstract

A method and system for using an asset based business architecture having components to operate a business, implementing collaborative interactions between the components by using control structures granular to the level of the corresponding asset based components. To respond to a business opportunity components are assembled into a collaborative network, and the assembled components are configured to the business opportunity. Additional or modified control structures are employed in the collaborative network as needed. Preferably, the collaborative network operates in a business control domain. The components may be adapted from a component business model (CBM) map developed for an industry within which the business competes.
