Designing a New Organization at NASA: An Organization Design Process Using Simulation
研究了NASA团队如何通过模拟工具设计新组织，以完成复杂建模任务，并探讨了设计流程、工具与组织的匹配及对权变理论的影响。
The challenge for NASA’s Systems Analysis Integrated Discipline Team (SAIDT) is to develop a new organization design capable of performing complex modeling and analysis tasks, using team members at various NASA centers. The focus is on: (1) design as a process, (2) the effect of design tools on the process as well as alternative designs, (3) the fit between the tools and their fit with the organization, (4) the effect of an ongoing agencywide transformation, and (5) implications for organizational contingency theory.
