Business process study of change in organizational structure: Using complex network controllability

C4ISR system is a military information system with the function of command and control (C2), intelligence, surveillance, communication, etc. Business Process Management (BPR) becomes an important research content with the increasingly complex and huge business process in C4ISR system. In order to better manage business process, this survey aims to clarify the relationship between business process and organizational structure in C4ISR system, and create fitting business process and organizational structure. A controllability index of business process by organizational structure is presented to evaluate the business process and organizational structure fit. Furthermore, the controllability method of business process is proposed to provide adjustment schemes for organizational structure based on Complex Network (CN) controllability. Finally, a case study is presented to illustrate the validity and applicability of the approach. © 2016 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
