Capturing the interaction behavior between two or more business parties has major importance in the context of business-tobusiness (B2B) process integration. The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), being the de-facto standard for modeling intra-organizational processes, also includes capabilities for describing cross-organizational collaboration. However, as this paper will show, BPMN fa...

The primary objective of this study was to model the interaction between organizational culture and change, delineating the ways in which a leader’s knowledge of organizational culture affects the process of implementing change, and identifying the stages of the change process at which the interaction between organizational culture and change implementation holds functional significance. Many e...

Organizations with different organizational structures have different organizational behaviors when responding environmental changes. In this paper, we use a computational model to examine organizational adaptation on four dimensions: Agility, Robustness, Resilience, and Survivability. We analyze the dynamics of organizational adaptation by a simulation study from a complex perspective of the i...

Agile enterprises with different organizational structures manifest different organizational behaviors when responding to environmental changes. In this paper, we use a computational model to examine organizational adaptation on four dimensions: Agility, Robustness, Resilience, and Survivability. We analyze the dynamics of organizational adaptation by a simulation study on the interaction betwe...

In public administration, knowledge management (KM) is increasingly advocated for improving novelty and agility in policy development and service delivery. This study identifies factors influencing KM, theorizes their interaction effects based on the resourcebased view, and assesses the impact of KM on organizational effectiveness. Physical resources invested specifically to promote KM (e.g., K...

In this paper we explore the possibility of using a language action perspective to extend an analysis of organizational processes based on role activity diagramming (RAD). We have previously used role activity diagramming to show the large scale communication flows in an organizational domain and wanted to apply a language action approach to arrive at a finer level of detail for particular inte...

This paper investigates how the history of interaction between organizations and between organizational boundary spanners contributes to the formation of trust between firms. Our findings, using data on the supplier–buyer relationships of two major US auto manufacturers, suggest that history affects trust formation in a complex non-linear fashion, involving a period of ambivalence early in a re...
