WP 01 — SMEMGO. the Structural Models Enterprise Management Governance Organism

This paper introduces SMEMGO (Structural Models Enterprise Management Governance Organism), a conceptual proposal for understanding and governing business organizations through structural analysis and structural models. The central proposition is that an enterprise can be examined not only as an administrative arrangement of departments, functions, processes, and decisions, but also as an interconnected organizational structure characterized by tensions, influences, coherence conditions, failures, regenerative processes, and evolutionary dynamics. SMEMGO proposes an integrated structural architecture composed of structural engines, territories, ecosystems, maps, models, structural disequation, and structural identity. These components are intended to provide complementary perspectives for interpreting organizational dynamics and developing model-based approaches to business management and governance. The paper distinguishes between two levels of the proposed architecture: the six ontological components that define the identity of SMEMGO, and the seven anatomical components that describe its internal structural organization. The purpose of this contribution is to establish the conceptual identity and architectural foundations of SMEMGO, clarify its principal components, and identify propositions that may be developed into operational procedures and subjected to empirical examination. SMEMGO is presented as a conceptual and methodological proposal. Its explanatory capacity, operational reproducibility, and practical effectiveness require further theoretical development and empirical validation. Keywords: SMEMGO; GEBeM; structural management; structural analysis; structural models; organizational architecture; structural governance; organizational viability.

Abstract

This paper introduces SMEMGO (Structural Models Enterprise Management Governance Organism), a conceptual proposal for understanding and governing business organizations through structural analysis and structural models. The central proposition is that an enterprise can be examined not only as an administrative arrangement of departments, functions, processes, and decisions, but also as an interconnected organizational structure characterized by tensions, influences, coherence conditions, failures, regenerative processes, and evolutionary dynamics. SMEMGO proposes an integrated structural architecture composed of structural engines, territories, ecosystems, maps, models, structural disequation, and structural identity. These components are intended to provide complementary perspectives for interpreting organizational dynamics and developing model-based approaches to business management and governance. The paper distinguishes between two levels of the proposed architecture: the six ontological components that define the identity of SMEMGO, and the seven anatomical components that describe its internal structural organization. The purpose of this contribution is to establish the conceptual identity and architectural foundations of SMEMGO, clarify its principal components, and identify propositions that may be developed into operational procedures and subjected to empirical examination. SMEMGO is presented as a conceptual and methodological proposal. Its explanatory capacity, operational reproducibility, and practical effectiveness require further theoretical development and empirical validation. Keywords: SMEMGO; GEBeM; structural management; structural analysis; structural models; organizational architecture; structural governance; organizational viability.
