Regulating Work in Digital Enterprises: A Flexible Managerial Framework Takahiro Murata and Naftaly H. Minsky   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Business and Transactions Abstract This paper demonstrates that work in digital enterprises-like work in conventional enterprises-can be carried out effectively by autonomous agents, subject to a regulatory regime that combines standing enterprise-wide policies with flexible managerial controls. The proposed regulatory mechanism, which is based on the concept of Law Governed Interaction (LGI), can support a wide range of enterprise policies, and a wide spectrum of managerial styles-including the procedural style underlying the so called Workflow Management System (WfMS).
