A Dual Aspect Model: Modeling Systems Alignment
9TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENT DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMS (MEDES 2017)(2017)
摘要
In literature, individuals, organizations, and technology can all been modelled as systems. This paper justifies the need for, and describes the development of a dual aspect model, which can be used to model and manage the interaction, alignment, and conflict between systems. Our initial dual aspect model consisted of overlapping semiotic onions [14], however model results did not match empirical data. When onion layer orders were adapted to reflect Hall's Major Triad definitions [6], system layer interaction was found to fit well with empirical data collected within modern organizations. Decomposition of the model allows academics and / or practitioners to consider systems alignment stages. Moreover, correction of layer definitions facilitates consideration of norms at the core belief / conceptual level, which supports analysis of human intention. In summary, this paper proposes a newly validated four layered onion structure and the dual alignment pathways, which can be used together to consistently represent and manage alignment between systems (i. e. individuals, technologies and/ or organizational systems). The overlapping of these onions, can also be used to study the technical, formal, and informal interplay between individual, organizational and technology aspects.
