Virtual Net Propagator: A cloud-based computational tool for systemic decision propagation analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• Cascading effects of organizational dynamics on business decisions is discussed.

• A multi-layer socio-technical change propagation model is developed.

• An original cloud-based software tool is presented to compute and track decision consequences.

• Performance of the proposed tool is demonstrated on a real world engineering case.

• Systems design insight is provided, by detecting and tracking hidden players.
