Explanation

The dependencies between the activities on the Business Activity Model (BAM) depend on the order in which they need to be completed. In this example, activity c (Define lending policies) needs to be completed before activity d (Monitor lending usage) because the policies need to be in place before the usage can be monitored. Similarly, activity a (Lend books) needs to be completed after activity b (Establish licensing arrangements with publishers) because the books need to be licensed before they can be lent. Therefore, the order of the activities should be c — d — a — b.
