This is the reason that attempts have been made to automate the strategic analysis by expert systems. This article means to capture the expert knowledge to be used in an expert system with the focus on an object-oriented model of the domain. Based on this OO model an expert system can be developed that is able to analyze a corporate enterprise with several Strategic Business Units each of which carrying more than one product at a time. Such an expert system would be able to analyze the various synergetic aspects. http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/515/ 1997-01-01T00:00:00Z One of the major aims of ongoing research at Erasmus University Rotterdam is to design and develop an expert system that will be able to analyze the strength of an enterprise and to advise about the strategies this enterprise must follow. A part of this research concerns the design of an object-oriented (OO) model of an enterprise and its environment. Such a model can be used as framework for expert system design and development. In this paper such an OO model is presented and related issues are discussed such as which object classes will have to be selected and how they are interrelated. For this OO model design Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique has been used. Some attention is paid to the implementation of this model in Aion DS, an OO knowledge representation tool.
