Origins and Directions in Sense & Respond Research

Sense & Respond is a multi-faceted research area – perhaps it is a lens through which one can view a number of intersecting research fields. In this paper we review many of the origins of Sense & Respond research, including Stephan Haeckel’s Adaptive Enterprise, Porter’s Competitive Advantage, Component Business Model, Model-Driven Business Transformation, Build-To-Order, Continuous Replenishment, Balanced Scorecard, Business Performance Management, and Business Intelligence. We discuss the current status of this research area and identify some future directions.
