"A Value-Based Framework for Process Alignment in Complex Provisioning Systems"

 

ABSTRACT:
This research regards provisioning systems, the activities of which are directed toward providing something of value to another entity. Objects of exchange may include objects, services, and information. The research is limited to complex, decentralized systems in which agents act beyond central control. Efforts included investigating the role of interdisciplinarity and designing models of the subject system from different theoretical perspectives. The research goal was to develop a framework for improving information and value exchanges in the subject systems.
