A Method to Support the Alignment of Business Models and Goal Models

This paper addresses one part of business and IT-alignment by proposing a method to align goal models and business models. The method takes as input a goal model and a business model, and outputs a business model that is aligned with the explicit goals of a business actor. The method builds on previous work with the same approach but extends that work in at least two ways: the syntax of some method constituents is altered and a way to combine them is introduced. The result is an improved method that better support a modeller when designing business models based on goal models.
