Mathematical model analysis of intra-organisational collaboration

Abstract

Collaboration means working together to achieve a common goal or to solve a problem. Grounded on complex network theory and collaborative design research, a mathematical model for analysing collaboration level in organisations is proposed. The concepts for characterising organisational structures for collaboration and indicators for assessing organisational behaviour were defined. The article concludes by discussing the limitations of the proposed model. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
