Development of reflex-adaptive organizational structure of high robustness

Abstract

One of the modern problems of business is the robustness of daily operations of company. Real productive industries permanently face the dramatic changes in the characteristics of the external environment which causes the explosive growth of risk situations that can lead to considerable damages and losses. That is why in modern management a significant place is occupied by methods called “risk management” designed to predict the emergence of negative situations and develop on this basis the protective measures.The purpose of the article is to equip developers of organizational structures, managers and participants of the construction process with not a complex but with the effective methodology of developing of organizational structures with high resistance qualities to the impact of external and internal environment based on the analysis of the reflex-adaptive qualities of the organizational structure of the investment and construction project. Overall, such method allows to express quantitatively the characteristics of the project structure’s elements for scoping the resistance qualities of the organizational structure of the investment and construction project.This article offers another method for improving robustness of the operating of the business structures based on modern concepts of informatics and the management of information flows. In work, the factors of robustness, sustainability and persistence of organizational structures of the investment and construction project are revealed and systematized. The life cycle of the investment and construction project is considered as a sequence of changes in the organizational structure which consists of a set of functional production-oriented units linked by technological, logistical and other processes synchronized in time. The article also offers the use of a mathematical model of the sustainability of the organizational structure under single impact of an external disturbance which allows us to determine the most loaded element of the system.The article provides a clear concept of the resistance qualities: robustness, sustainability and persistence of organizational structures based on the specific features of interaction of external and internal factors of the organizational structure as a system with elements of the organizational structure. Thus, for providing the maximum robustness of the structure is necessary to ensure the permanence of the internal environment of the system, that is, in any change in pragmatic information about the state of the internal environment an appropriate action is taken to counter negative impacts. For providing the robustness of the organizational structure, the reaction time of the system should not be less than the time of the disturbing effect change. Persistence is determined by the numerical value of factors affecting on the elements of the system.Overall, this article could be interesting to a wide range of specialists engaged in system design and allows us to consider solutions of system resistance from the modern positions of informatics.
