Abstract :
Through a case study involving a microengineering company, this paper models the flow of strategic information i.e. the quality of information required to make strategic decisions. The structure for collaboration within the company is captured using complex network theory. The behaviour of the network is then analysed in terms of how decisions are made based on the closeness of relationships among human participants for user-to-user and user-to-activity interactions.
