Capability-based enterprise modeling is gaining presence in business practice. Capability is the central concept of the resource-based view of a firm, and it helps to bridge strategy with business operations. The use of capabilities for behavior modeling provides flexibility, stimulates reuse, and helps the firm to focus on its core competencies. In order to benefit from this approach, capabilities must be strategy-focused and value-oriented. In other words, strategic goals and measures must be linked to capabilities. The paper provides a methodology to solve this task, which integrates a set of principles (way of thinking), a step-by-step method (way of working), viewpoints, and a meta-model (way of modeling). The article also points to the enterprise architecture management tool, which supports the suggested methodology. Copyright © 2014 for the individual papers by the papers' authors.
