Success in the marketplace requires a business strategy implemented with engineered product or service. The product or service must provide users, operators and owners with what they want and value with more convenience and better price than offered by competitors. Management makes the business strategy and resource allocation decisions. Systems engineering defines the product and services in accord with these decisions. It is critical that needed information pass across the management/systems engineering interface without ambiguity. This often requires a translation of information into the form understood by and useful to the recipients. This paper analyzes the basic abstractions used by organizations on both sides of the interface. It establishes the basic abstractions that are common to both business strategy development and systems engineering. This set of abstractions define the information which must be communicated between the business development experts and the systems experts who may be organized together in a single team or assigned to separate organizations. The techniques for engineering systems with models, usually applied to products and services, are applied here to the interface between business strategy and systems engineering
