The organizational environment is defined by a complex and dynamic interaction of elements that act together to achieve goals. Organizational modeling helps stakeholders to better understand this complexity and analyze details in order to help the identification of changes that are necessary to keep the organization aligned with its strategic goals. However, it is still hard to map the many organizational...
An organization environment is composed by different perspectives that, in concert, aim to fulfill the business strategy. One of these perspectives is Human Resources (HR), responsible for filling the gap between the HR Structure and the business strategy demands. The strategic role of HR faces the challenge of the instability from the internal and external environment, which requires continuous adaptation...
As a result of the independence and the colonization endured by developing countries, most of their administrative procedures have been inherited from the colonial era. These procedures adapted to the colonizing countries, are complex for the African context. People in charge of their processing are not able to master it, take too much time to put them in practice and consider it as heavy for the...
This paper takes a practitioner's perspective on the problem of organisational decision-making. Industry practice follows a refinement based iterative method for organizational decision-making. However, existing enterprise modelling tools are not complete with respect to the needs of organizational decision-making. As a result, today, a decision maker is forced to use a chain of non-interoperable...
Today ICT networks are the economy's vital backbone. While their complexity continuously evolves, sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) become increasingly fatal for organizations. Numerous highly developed Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) promise to detect certain characteristics of APTs, but no mechanism which allows to rate, compare and evaluate them...
The paper presents a case application of the Multi modeling approach to solve a complex tribal welfare problem. The case in context was a Tribal Welfare organization trying to meet conflicting objectives relating to welfare and Profit. Complex problems comprise multiple aspects to be understood and addressed as a whole. We often deal with organizational complexity by presuming that it does not simply...
The article is an attempt to apply complexity theory to study organizations in an environment filled with their competitors and complementors. An agent-based simulation is used to analyze effects of interactions in an environment with different level of complexity. Agents operate trying to adapt to fitness landscape they are placed in (which is based on Kauffman's NK model) and the obtained level...
Society system is a special complex system and its main elements are human that have initiative and study capabilities. In human-driving social problems, human's decisions are the main factors that determine the environment evolving and the effect of decisions. It is necessary to study new methods to deal with these problems. The recourse for the complexity of the human-driving social problem is analyzed...
This article explores how to use complex network theory and method to perform dynamic analysis of enterprise innovation network and build CSM homogeneous-interaction knowledge-flow model based on small-world network.
Based on innovation diffusion theory and network externalities, this paper explores the key factors affecting B2B e-marketplace adoption in China. First, we classify adoption process into two stages: pre-adoption stage and post-adoption stage. Then, based on relative theory, 4 factors are identified and 8 hypotheses are formulated, which are tested by the data collected from 379 Chinese enterprises...
Construction project organization is usually regarded as "organized" organization during the research at present and this recognition is rigid because the people's initiative is ignored. The form of changes in construction project organization in its life cycle is the result of the process that construction project organization is adapting to the environment and requirement of mission constantly,...
Organizations are adopting multiple best practices models to improve overall performance. Their objective is to capture the cumulative added value of each model into one single environment. These multimodel environments raise several challenges, selection and composition of models are not straightforward tasks. This paper proposes an approach to help address these challenges by comparing models at...
Complex networks of a technological nature have much importance in modern life. In many cases, the large amount of components and their intricate interrelationship can affect some properties, such as their reliability, stability or security. One example of such networks is the highly interconnected systems that provide support to operations and business in large organizations, such as companies or...
This paper unpacks the relation between task conflict and relationship task by an exploratory research with a sample of 253 persons to, From which five escalation factors were extracted. They are mentality, relation, self-character, environment, psychological distance. An escalation model of task conflict into relationship conflict is built to show different effects of 5 accelerating factors in the...
In the distributed cross-organization business process, each organization only knows its private orchestration and partial public choreography, It doesn't have any information about the global process. If one organization has to change, it is difficult to compute the impact imposed on other organizations. In this paper, we propose a method to get the global services dependency matrix automatically...
The models of software development used for electro-technical systems are observed by the authors. The classification of this models are offered in the article.
The research on innovation has become an important trend from the perspectives of system and its relative system theories. According to knowledge about enterprise innovation and self-organization theory, innovations include culture innovation, knowledge innovation, institution innovation, technology innovation, management innovation, and so on. Innovation integration is defined as a dynamic innovation...
A practical model on strategic decision making is built helpful to introduce a new situation map on strategic decision making. The complex system theory states that the use of analytic hierarchy process and swing weighting is feasible to acquire the multiplex relative weights of factors which belong to the practical model. The situation map, generated by the combination of the multiplex relative weights...
In this paper, the knowledge transfer between the organizations is analyzed from a new angle, namely knowledge customization, which not only expends the research area of the knowledge management study but also provides guide line for the managerial practice of the knowledge transfer. First, through analyzing, we conclude that it is necessary to introduce the conception of knowledge customization and...
