On the Design of Distributed Organizational Structures,

Abstract

The problem of designing human decisionmaking organizations is formulated as an organizational form problem with special structure. Petri Nets are used to represent the organizational form. An algorithmic procedure, suitable for computer-aided design, is presented and the specific algorithms that it includes are developed. The approach reduces the dimensionality of the problem to a tractable level.
