This paper brings together resource-based theory and contingency theory to analyse organizational capability in the public sector. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis is used to identify configurations of organizational attributes (department size, structural complexity, agencification, personnel instability, use of temporary employees), associated with high and low organizational capabi...

This paper brings together resource-based theory and contingency theory to analyse organizational capability in the public sector. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis is used to identify configurations of organizational attributes (department size, structural complexity, agencification, personnel instability, use of temporary employees), associated with high and low organizational capabi...

An agent-based organizational model for a smart energy system is introduced relying on a dynamic coalition formation mechanism for virtual power plants. Central to this mechanism we propose a solution concept that stems from the existent stability notions in coalitional games. The process is intended as an open-ended organizational adaptation, concerned with achieving stable configurations that...

We demonstrate how boundary spanning and knowledge brokering as a dual approach support the organizational agility of a software development company. We present the case of an organizational unit whose members engage in both activities within as well as between the company and its environment. We analyze the team's and its members' approach and identify well functioning practices as well as cha...

Organizational capabilities are identified as one major source for the generation and development of sustainable competitive advantage). Recently the issue of changeability and flexibility of organizational capabilities is coming to the fore. Referring to the observation that markets and ...

The conceptual divide separating the physical and biological sciences continues to challenge modern science. In this perspective it is proposed that the two sciences can be directly connected through the fundamental concept of stability. Physicochemical stability is shown to have a logical, rather than an empirical basis, and able to manifest itself in two distinct and often contrary ways, one ...

Configuration management is an important aspect of an efficient development process. As with other aspects of software development, configuration management happens in the presence of social and organizational constraints. The various goals of configuration management (stability, developer independence and interaction, etc.) sometimes conflict with each other. This paper presents three configur...

An agent-based organizational model for a smart energy system is introduced relying on a dynamic coalition formation mechanism for virtual power station (VPS) creation. Following, for VPS maintenance a solution concept is proposed that stems from the existent stability solutions in coalitional games and is introduced in conjunction with a corresponding algorithm, deployed in distributed environ...
