Abstract
Knowledge management is an essential requirement for innovation, especially in initiating, guiding and improving the innovation process. It is a significant challenge to capture the planning and deployment of innovation that takes place within a company. It is not only the individual components of innovation that are challenging, but also integrating all of those activities in a focused manner. This chapter describes the importance of enterprise design models and reference architectures as knowledge management tools and methodologies for guiding and supporting the enterprise design or innovation process. It also briefly discusses the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA) and Master Plan as examples of enterprise design reference architectures.
