Morphogenetic constraint-satisfaction based approach for organizational engineering

Published: 23 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Organizations are modeled using several approaches namely behavioral-science approach, design-science approach [March and Smith 1995], classification approach [Zachman 1993], etc. Can all these different approaches be consistently reconciled? Can this reconciliation be systemic, based on principles that support analyses of organizations? We present a solution to these questions through a morphogenetic constraint-satisfaction based approach.In our view, the hallmark of this approach is that it systemically unifies the functional, cross-functional and behavioral views of organizations.
