协作意味着共同努力实现共同目标或解决问题，在现代企业中，协作是信息共享和质量的重要因素。这是因为协作能够通过汇集专业知识和标准化工作模式来塑造组织的结构和行为。本文基于复杂网络理论和协作设计研究，提出了一个用于分析组织中协作的信息流的数学模型。该模型定义了描述协作的组织结构的概念，并提出了根据组织内的协作来评估组织行为的指标。文章最后讨论了该模型的应用和局限性。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Collaboration means working together to achieve a common goal or to solve a problem, and in modern businesses, it is an important factor for information sharing and quality. This is due to the ability of collaborations to shape the structure and behaviour of organisations through the pooling of expertise and standardising of work patterns.Grounded on complex network theory and collaborative design research, a mathematical model of information flow for analysing collaboration in organisations is proposed in this article. The model defines concepts for characterising organisational structures for collaboration and proposes indicators for assessing organisational behaviour in terms of collaboration within organisations. The article concludes by discussing the applications and limitations of the proposed model. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
