“…Business objects may be conceptual, in which case we may think of them as business or design patterns (Alexander et al 1977), but they may also be implemented in executable software. In any case, the dividing line between conceptual objects and executable software is tenuous (Negishi 1985, Locksley 1991.…”

Many claims have been made for the benefits of software reuse, in terms of enhanced quality as well as productivity. Widely reused objects are supposed to possess several desirable characteristics, such as reliability and flexibility as well as efficiency. But reusable objects may be used for unpredicted purposes in unpredicted contexts. Furthermore, in an open distributed world, technical, geographical, organizational and other boundaries, as well as significant time lags, may separate the software developer from the publisher, and the software librarian from the user. From these premises we argue that responsibility for the quality of reusable software artefacts cannot be taken by the developer (or development organization) alone, but must be shared between developer and other agents. Recent work in enterprise modelling for open distributed processing has led to new techniques for modelling responsibilities across organizational boundaries, and these techniques are introduced here as a way of determining and clarifying effective structures for the quality assurance of reusable business objects.

In an effort to improve profits, most contemporary businesses are implementing operational cost based engineering initiatives and measures for pricing services. However, service provision requires business executives to have a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of 'value' as a guide to strategically price services in order to improve profitability. This paper makes an effort to present a theory of value -as a customer prerogative of service utilisation. The research aims at developing a pricing model to utilise, communicate and capture the value of a service provided by a service provider. It takes a new approach of focusing on the external value as perceived by the customer and advocate matching price to value. The paper helps both; the customers and the service providers to achieve business growth by commanding the right price for the software services. The ultimate goal is to match the price the customer pays for a service expected to deliver outstanding value.
