65. "Development of Organizational Design Support Systems"

ABSTRACT

This paper provides a framework and a case study for the development of the Organizational Design Support System (ODSS). The organizational design development interdependencies consist of four mutually interdependent parts: (1) development of applicable organizational theory, (2) development of applicable methods for organizational design, (3) application of organizational design to real organizations, and (4) concurrent engineering of an information system to support organizational design. All four parts are presented along with an explanation of how the interdependencies were realized. The properties of the ODSS software are described. The processes and results of the organizational design of a real organization are presented. The paper calls into question the nature of Organizational Computing.
