<div><font color="#000000">The business environments of today are changing rapidly, entailing complex and dynamic organisational constellations. Enterprises operating in these conditions need to have the capability to deliver their services in a variety of business contexts with sustainable quality and moreover to leverage them to competitive advantage. </font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Capability is gaining presence in the context of business-IT alignment, in the specification and design of services using business planning as the baseline, in Enterprise Architecture, and in Service Oriented Architecture. However, the knowledge, role and the usage of enterprise capabilities in the named disciplines in terms of people competencies and the capacity of the resources, are unclear and open to different interpretations. How to utilize “capability” knowledge in enterprise modelling and architectures as a foundation for sustainable Information System planning and management in the presence of varying social and business contexts is likely to yield substantial results in both research and practice in years to come.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">We encourage the original research contributions exploring the challenges and solutions related to the meaning and usage of capability in Business Informatics, as well as industrial case studies illustrating the use of this notion. The topics are among but not limited to:</font></div>
