Currently, in the branch of production industry, there is an increasing tendency to collaborate. Although promising a better survival in the globalising market structures, those collaborations oftentimes fail due to a lack of problemoriented comprehension concerning the required systems setup. This results in a very high failure rate that is near 50%. Although various models account for an individual company as an entity, there is a lack of complementary approaches that address the characteristics of enterprise networks. Therefore, new approaches for modeling both the core complexity of collaborative drivers in reality and the inherent






















complexity of collaborative production systems required. This paper wants to draw attention to the application of principles for complex systems from natural sciences to collaborative enterprise networks as socio-technical systems; the porsition is taken that tis might yield the missing complementary approaches.
This paper aims to exemplify an outline for the development of a Generic Model Complexity (GeMoC). The GeMoC shall provide a problem-to-system match for collaborations in production industry. In the following the underlying concept for the development of this model will be uncovered.
