Abstract

In this paper we develop the basics of a novel proposition to structure networks or corporations. From system analysis and organization design we have extended the set of design parameters to include the managers bandwidth, the total decision making load. Key to our approach is the separation of decisions along a time-impact axis as provided in the TAO model©. Combining the scalability of that model with the Value Added Cell (VAC) yields a unit of economic activity as a building block in the Virtual Industry® matrix(©).
