Abstract
Meta-network is the core base of computational organization theory and dynamic network analysis. As an extend version of Social Network Analysis, meta-network is the representation of a group of networks, it extends the scope of the construction project organizational structure from only personnel to knowledge, tasks and other entities as well as people. In this paper, knowledge is considered as the people’s abilities to complete the tasks of projects. Combine with these entities and relationships among them, this paper build the meta-networks framework model of Projects Organization and Tasks assignment. Six index definition and formula: Congruence of Org Agent Knowledge Needs_(COAK),Congruence of Org Task Knowledge Needs_(COTK), Congruence of Agent Knowledge Needs_(CAK), Congruence of Task Knowledge Needs_(CTK), Task Completion of Knowledge based_(TCK), Actual Workload of Knowledge_(AWK).
Shanghai General Motors Buick 4S centers network, as a program, has the characteristics of numerous participants and complex relationship, was elected as a case. The conclusion indicates that a well-operation project organization have a high fit between projects organization and tasks assignment. Through the simulation analysis visually expressed how an organization will behave and change after considering a sequence of strategic interventions or personnel loss by way of agent removal.
