Some thoughts about modelling the field of architectural management

In this paper it is tried to define the field of architectural management. The aim of the research is to define inputs and outputs, relationships to and overlap with other fields and area's of specialisation within the field. Besides that we are seeking tor a model which makes it possible to classify existing methods en techniques used in an architectural management context. After detining management in general and especially architectural management, we make a proposal tor a gtobal meta-model. The paper ends with an attempt to define a matrix which makes it possible to classify architecturat management activities. The paper is based on ongoing research and is not pretending to be an end-product.
