The viable decision maker for CAS survival: how to change and adapt through fitting process

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the decision-making process in the management of the complex adaptive systems (CAS), particularly focusing on the dimensions that affect the individual decision maker (DM) when passing from decision to behavior in fitting processes. Although the importance of the general process of fitting in terms of organizational design has been highlighted in earlier studies, a closer focus on the DM perspective is required. Design/methodology/approach Starting from the theoretical frameworks of viable systems approach (vSa) and addressing the evolving concepts of change and adaptation in CAS, the work takes the DM perspective and investigates the dimensions involved in the paths that lead complex decisions into behaviors, when referring to fitting processes. The paper reviews the vSa and the concept of CAS, deepening the decision making in fitting processes. Then, the paper proceeds to discuss the schemes and the categories that affect, at different levels, the decision and behavioral choices by proposing an interpretative framework. Findings The paper proposes a general framework useful to recognize/identify which are the elements/dimensions that have to be considered when organizations change in pursuing survival. The findings of the paper also show how adopting a vSa as a meta-model can be insightful to the understanding of service systems and useful in fully comprehending decision-making processes and behavior in complex adaptive system. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies in exploring the decision making process in CAS, adopting a closer perspective on the single DM through the lens of the vSa.

4th Organizations, Artifacts and Practices (OAP) Workshop Rules, Regulations and Materiality in Management and Organization Studies, 26-27th June 2014, Luis University, Roma

Abstract: What does it entails building an Information Infrastructure that is performative across European Union Member States Judicial domains? Justice systems are highly regulated networks of actors, organizations and technologies. The norms that govern the actions (including the use of any kind of artifact) and the legal effect of such actions are specific to each justice domain. Failure in complying with the rule has consequences, typically resulting in the effects of the action being null and void for the judicial procedure. This paper discusses the challenges of developing and assembling e-CODEX (e-Justice Communication via Online Data EXchange) information infrastructure, an EU cofunded Large Scale Pilot project, which is allowing legally valid crossborder exchange of information and documents in real cross-border procedures in a number of pilot cases.
