6.4.1 C<strong>on</strong>tent Analysis<br />

Cho<strong>on</strong>-Bae Yoo, Igor Hawryszkiewycz and Kye<strong>on</strong>g-So<strong>on</strong> Kang<br />

Literature is critically analysed to evaluate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>cept, approaches, process <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> new characteristics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

complex organizati<strong>on</strong><br />

Results will be used to formulate research aims, research questi<strong>on</strong>s and to develop and<br />

understanding for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> interview and case study<br />

Interviews<br />

Resp<strong>on</strong>ses will be analysed qualitatively whereby a search will be c<strong>on</strong>ducted to identify <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> comm<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>mes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> problem and also comparis<strong>on</strong> for similarities and differences<br />

The analysis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> interview data and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tent analysis from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> literature will provide deeper<br />

insights, understanding and knowledge required for developing multi perspective framework<br />

6.4.2 Case Study<br />

Resp<strong>on</strong>ses from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> questi<strong>on</strong>naire that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> participants complete will be analysed qualitatively<br />

Multiple criteria will also be used to measure <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> efficiency <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> framework, strengths, weaknesses<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> self-organizati<strong>on</strong> and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> effectiveness <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> easier to manage system evoluti<strong>on</strong><br />

With <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> multiple sources <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> evidence <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> validity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>cept will be reinforced within <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

case study, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re will be an expansi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> results through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>duct <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> four multiple case studies.<br />

6.5 Pilot case study findings<br />

The initial research was able to retrieve innovative designs to improve <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> model due to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> method<br />

menti<strong>on</strong>ed above while c<strong>on</strong>currently validating <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> framework. In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> initial findings, a pilot case study<br />

enables <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> identificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most important factors in success model dimensi<strong>on</strong>s and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se are:<br />

Resp<strong>on</strong>siveness – users will resp<strong>on</strong>d to unforeseen circumstances and notify stakeholders<br />

Reliability – users will know what to do in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> unlikely event <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> unforeseen circumstances<br />

Adaptability – a multi perspective model will help user facilitate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> changes<br />

Satisfacti<strong>on</strong> – users able to express <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> unforeseen circumstances as; social, activity, knowledge<br />

flow and organizati<strong>on</strong>al changes<br />

A pilot case study shows that a proposed multi perspective model will satisfy success model<br />

dimensi<strong>on</strong>s to measure and improve <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> knowledge flow in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> unlikely event <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> unforeseen<br />

circumstances. This research was carried out using interviews and set <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> questi<strong>on</strong>naires involving a<br />

director and seven project managers for a period <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> two m<strong>on</strong>ths. Research project is focusing <strong>on</strong><br />

social networking and aims to develop a multi perspective design method to model complex<br />

organizati<strong>on</strong> and structures to provide support for collaborative system design. This method provides<br />

a more systematic approach and includes social structure, business architecture, and knowledge hub<br />

to identify <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> communities <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> practice and business activity workflow.<br />

7. Discussi<strong>on</strong><br />

The research was c<strong>on</strong>ducted using multiple case studies to an understanding <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a complex issue and<br />

identified new characteristics for a dynamic envir<strong>on</strong>ment. The primary data is being collected and<br />

stored for c<strong>on</strong>tinuous analysis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ound influence <strong>on</strong> multi perspective views in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> significance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

diversity and self-organizati<strong>on</strong>. By c<strong>on</strong>ducting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> research and testing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> validity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> model in<br />

close cooperati<strong>on</strong> with participants in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> government agencies, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re is effective management <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

wicked problems faced by organizati<strong>on</strong>s. This project places emphasis <strong>on</strong> bringing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> newly<br />

ga<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>red data to evaluate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> development <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a multi perspective model and all areas c<strong>on</strong>cerned with<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> study <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> complexity, where organizati<strong>on</strong>s have to face emergent changes. The next phase <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

study will analyze <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> results ga<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>red from primary data, both newly collected and archived materials<br />

to expand and test <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> success modeling dimensi<strong>on</strong>s for validity and reliability. Moreover, research is<br />

also needed to investigate <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> behavioral perspective <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> social system dynamic with complex<br />

processes which are to be extended to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> support elements <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizati<strong>on</strong> and for fur<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r<br />

adopti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> system evoluti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
