Abstract: This paper builds on an earlier paper modelling business capabilities as a function of resources and process to support enterprise architecture decision making. This paper develops the earlier capability model by using a realist perspective to apply the theory of affordances and the Z specification language to show how capabilities and their actualisation can be modelled as a tuple or set of resource affordance mechanisms (AM) and affordance paths AP subject to critical affordance factors. The paper identifies and develops the concept of objective and subjective affordances and shows how these relate to the capability resource model. We identify an affordance chain by which affordances work together to create a capability. We define the affordance modelling notation AMN as a method of representing the affordances in a system of interacting resources. A medical case study (based on interviews at a local hospital) is used to show how capabilities can be identified and modelled using th e theory of affordances. We also propose a model of affordance efficiency, effectiveness and quality that enables the performance of a capability and its constituent affordances to be measured and modelled. (More)
