Modeling of Mixed Decision Making Process
This work addresses decision-making modeling for organizations, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing concepts like knowledge management and collaboration without introducing major new breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of modeling decision-making processes by proposing a formal description of mixed and multimodal decision making (MDM) that includes individual, collective, or hybrid modes, and explicates this process using UML-G profile.
Decision making whenever and wherever it is happened is key to organizations success. In order to make correct decision, individuals, teams and organizations need both knowledge management (to manage content) and collaboration (to manage group processes) to make that more effective and efficient. In this paper, we explain the knowledge management and collaboration convergence. Then, we propose a formal description of mixed and multimodal decision making (MDM) process where decision may be made by three possible modes: individual, collective or hybrid. Finally, we explicit the MDM process based on UML-G profile.
