Excerpt from Modelling Coordination in Organizations: Kevin Coordination Science Mit Sloan School of Management December 1990
Coordination seems to be primarily an information processing task. One method other information-processing-based disciplines have used to gain insight into complex behaviours is to imagine how a computer could be programmed to reproduce them. In cognitive psychology, for example, computer models of learning or memory have been used to make theories about human information processing concrete and to generate further empirically testable hypotheses.

Excerpt from Modelling Coordination in Organizations: Kevin Coordination Science Mit Sloan School of Management December 1990
What good are organizations? Obviously, organizations exist for many reasons. One of the most important is to channel the efforts of the organizations members in ways that allow the organization to accomplish things that no individual working alone could do. For example, a computer operating system is such a complex product that no one individual can be said to know how to design or build one, yet several organizations routinely do exactly that. This ability has a cost; much of the work done by members of a software company has little to do with actually writing software. Instead, these workers spend their time coordinating their actions and the actions of others. As yet, however, we have only a vague understanding of what coordination work is or how it is useful.
The end goal of my research is to provide a more principled definition of coordination and coordination work. To do so, however, requires the development of better analysis techniques. In this paper I will present such a technique and briefly discuss its implications for study of organizations and coordination.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving nature of coordination within organizations, particularly in the context of complex tasks. By examining the information processing demands of such tasks, the author develops a novel technique for modeling the coordination processes of a group. The book discusses the potential benefits of using artificial intelligence techniques to understand and improve coordination in organizations. It emphasizes how this approach can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of coordination and highlight areas for organizational improvement. Through its analysis of coordination knowledge and capabilities, this book offers a fresh perspective on the challenges and opportunities of coordinating work in today's organizations.
