There has been a focus on the management of the complex engineering project. Firstly the organizational design elements that affect the decision making performance of a complex engineering project in the uncertain environment are analyzed. Then an agent-based model is proposed, in which the environmental uncertainty is represented with environmental complexity and turbulence. During modeling, a task...
Through a literature review, we find that the bidding models based on rational theory have revealed little practical values by only taking into account of environmental constraints leaving bounded rationality neglected.

In this paper, we suggest a method of knowledge-based decision making using system dynamics, with an emphasis to strategic concerns. The proposed method transforms individual mental models into explicit knowledge by translating partial and implicit knowledge into an integrated knowledge model. The scenario-based test of the organized knowledge model enables decision-makers to understand the structure...
