- At least to me, it has always depended on what I am trying to model.
- When I try to model devices (any physical system), OOA seems to be
- natural. However, when I try to model organizations (I have more
- experience doing this), I tend to do a functional decomposition
- of the organization (hierarchically). In fact, I use the definition
- of material and information flows between functions as the first approach
- towards identifying objects. Once I refine these object definitions,
- I go back to redefine my functions to operate on these objects (the
- so called TO BE function model of the organization).
