Networks of Decision-Making and Communicating Agents: A New Methodology for Design and Evaluation of Organizational Strategies and Heterarchical Structures*

چکیده
In this paper, we explore the decomposition of organizational processes and decision-making, the coexistence of organizations command and communication networks, and their effects on team performance. We present a methodology to design mission-based strategies and novel heterarchical organizational structures based on exploring information/command transfer and processing in the organizations. This methodology allows synthesising alternative C3I organizational structures, which outperform traditional hierarchies in environments with heavy information volume, scarce resources, and strict knowledge & communication constraints.
