Abstract :
This paper introduces a comprehensive methodology for synthesizing adaptive decision-making organizations to complete a complex joint-operations mission. We present a multiobjective organizational design algorithm with the embedded strategy adaptation and structural reconfiguration schemes to produce an adaptive organizational structure. The synthesis of adaptive organizations is illustrated via an example under multiple scenarios of anomalies. The results of this paper form a foundation for current research on organizational adaptation
