“…The very manifestation of organizations is changing. With the advent of modern communication technologies, the boundaries of organizations are disappearing, resulting in boundaryless organisations [17], and organizations are no longer view as "isolated islands" but rather as integral actors within complex networks, that is as networked organizations [3]. Moreover, as proposed by [14], the concept of ActorWebs is currently emerging as the reality of tomorrow, a reality were social-cyber-physical systems are the norm and not the exception.…”

The human-made technology that is used by organizations has played a crucial role in enabling humans to accomplish impressive endeavors. Despite the critical importance that organizations (or organizing) have played (and still play) in shaping the modern world, they are a technology that humans know very little about, and are still struggling to design and use adequately. The crux of the problem is that the study of organizations (including their design) does not fit neatly into the boxes that are modern academic disciplines. Another important series of issues concerns conducting multidisciplinary research across the silos of academic discipline. Crossing these silos is especially difficult when trying to cross-pollinate ideas as well as publish because of terminological, political, and social challenges. As such, the OD&EE journal is a necessary and important step in the right direction for addressing these issues by promoting research that is both multidisciplinary as well as oriented towards the proactive stance of design and engineering.

“…Thus, those factors and parameters are identifi ed which are of special importance for the respective participant. Especially in complex and technically challenging projects this will provide each individual project participant with more understanding of those processes that are the most important ones for the success of the project (Picot 1997).…”

Abstract.A construction project is characterized by a high number of project participants and a multitude of contract relations. The Principal Agent Theory deals with the design of contracts, especially with respect to asymmetric information. Asymmetric distribution of information in co-operations can have effects before as well as after closing a contract. In construction project management therefore attention has to be paid to where information imbalances occur. Several methods are known with which one can cope with the resulting problems but which in turn cause costs.

“…Since information and communication are central to coordination, any technical means to generate, process, store, or distribute information has a direct effect on transaction costs and on the applicable organizational solutions. Most importantly, information and communication technology can lower transaction costs by increasing transparency, standardization, and automation (Picot et al 2008b).…”

“…This "move to the market" phenomenon -the decreasing importance of hierarchical governance in favor of market-or network-based organizational forms -has in large part been driven by information and communication technology (Picot et al 2008b). Furthermore, these technologies have also had an "enabling function": They have not only reduced the costs of a particular governance structure by reducing transaction costs, but also allowed for new organizational solutions that were not previously conceivable (Picot et al 1996).…”
