Towards Simulating the Impact of National Culture on Organizations
Abstract
Both culture and organizations are concepts which have been partially formalized. Only some of their aspects have been specified to build agent-based models.In this conceptual article, we identify and characterize the features that should be considered when building an agent-based model of an organization taking into account the influence of culture. In particular, we investigate the impact culture can have on the delegation, coordination, control and normative structures of organizations and on the way these structures are used. Moreover, we describe how this cultural impact would influence the three central performance criteria of organizations: efficiency, flexibility and robustness.
