Enterprise engineering is the body of knowledge, principles, and practices used to design all or part of an enterprise. [1] An enterprise is a complex socio-technical system that comprises people, information, and technology that interact with each other and their environment in support of a common mission.
Socio-technical systems are part of a comprehensive theoretical framework called Open Systems Theory (OST).

[16] In the 1930s both 'social engineering and 'social technology' became associated with the large scale socio-economic policies of the Soviet Union.
